Flashbulbs went off, social media began buzzing, and the two toy store owners smiled from ear-to-ear. However, Margot's daughter began to skimp on costs. It was a jovial tradition passed down to her daughter. With the help of her grandson, Andre, they rebuilt the toy store into a fantastical delight. And with one mighty tug, the new displays beamed out to the overcrowded square.
The tone is used in writing to tell readers' the attitude employed by the writer, through the writing styles and use(choice) of words to convey the writer's mindset or emotion. Therefore, the tone of wonder is simply the tone that makes the story captivating or surprising about a certain situation that influences readers' reactions.
These two sentences :
<em>Flashbulbs went off, social media began buzzing, and the two toy store owners smiled from ear-to-ear.</em>
<em>With the help of her grandson, Andre, they rebuilt the toy store into a fantastical delight; </em>convey a tone of wonder in the passage. Here the author describes the action of the store owner in a vivid way leading the readers to wonder why the store owners are widely smiling and lastly the author paints a sense of wonder that follows the building of the toy store.

Answer:
The same structure, in indirect or reported form, would be:
The principal will say that rules have to be followed at any cost.
Explanation:
<u>When reporting what someone said, we must change the verb tenses according to when the line was said. If there are any pronouns in the sentence, those may also need to be changed to match the speaker - for instance, if a man said something about himself, we should change "I" for "he". We also change time expressions, such as substituting "today" for "that day".</u>
<u>Not much changes in the sentence we are transforming here since the line inside the quotation marks does not present time expressions or pronouns. Another reason for that is the verb tense. Because it is "will say", which is a future, we do not have to change the verb tense inside the quotation marks.</u>
Just to make it clearer, imagine that the principal already said that: The principal said, "Rules have to be followed at any cost." Now the tense is in the past, "said". In this case, we should also change the tense inside the quotation marks. It would be: The principal said that rules had to be followed at any cost.
