Billy, you don ' t look too well. Maybe you should take the day off school.
But Mom! Today we ' re playing football! I love football!
You ' Ve got a fever and playing football isn ' t a good idea for a boy with a fever. What ' s that on your arm?
I don ' t know. It was there when I woke up this morning.
It ' s rash. I ' d better take you to see the doctor. How did you get that bruise on your leg?
I bashed it against the chair in my room.
Does it hurt?
A little, but not much.
Here. Put this wet towel on your face to keep your temperature down. I ' ll take you to the doctor ' s after breakfast.
If I ' m better this afternoon, can I go to school?
