There is a party in the school tomorrow. But Steve cannot go. Why? Because is not feeling well. He has a high fever and a runny nose. He is also sneezing a lot. Steve exclaims, “Oh! I cannot be sick tomorrow. I have to get well. Mother should not know about my sickness.” Then he remembers a cure for his sickness that he saw on television. He goes to the kitchen and collects all the ingredients. He takes honey, cinnamon, jam, cocoa and lots of other things. He mixes all these together and gulps down the mixture. Suddenly, he has a stomach ache. He cannot bear it. He calls out, “Mother! Mother!” Mother comes down. He tells her everything. Mother calls the doctor and says to Steve, “This is what happens when you become a doctor yourself.” Steve is ashamed of himself.
