"So… let me get this straight. You want to do the work on your own, but still need my help to…"
"I want your help in directions and stuff. I want you to tell me what I'm doig wrong, when I'm doing and no other time," Nilo said.
"Hmm, that's not a very hard thing for me to do. You just want my validation on whether you are on your right path or not," Ning said. "Why not ask the other teachers? I'm sure they would help you too in this. Why did you wait until a new teacher came to ask for this?"
"I've tried all the teachers except the two grade 9 teachers. They all hear about my illness and don't even know what it is, let alone the cure, so they can't help at all," Nilo said.
"Your illness? What exactly is it again? Explain to me," Ning said.
Nilo agreed and explained exactly what was wrong with him. Ning took the doctor's approach and asked as many questions as he could.
