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 god 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 a 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?
