Jack Brown was very
quiet when he saw his doctor. The doctor said, "Open your mouth and
say" Ah and then he took his temperature and listened to his heart. He
asked Jack's mother, "When did Jack begin to fall ill?"
"This morning
when he got up, he said he felt too terrible and he couldn't go to school today."
"What did he eat
for breakfast?"
"He had orange
juice, bread, an egg and a glass of milk."
"I see." The
doctor asked Jack, "How do you feel now, my boy?" Jack said,
"Terrible, I think I'm going to die(死)
" The doctor said, "You won't die. You'll be fine by dinner time.
"Oh, doctor! Do you really think so?" Jack's mother looked very glad.
Dr. Johnson said, "Mrs. Brown, your son is ill. Boys are usually ill at
this time. It comes and goes fast. "
Mrs. Brown said, "But
I don't understand (理解)." The doctor
told her, "There will be the most exciting football final(决赛 )of the World Cup on television. If Jack feels well enough to watch
television this afternoon, I think he will be fine when the final is over. It's
the only way to cure (治愈)him. Now, I must go across the
street to see the Ford's boy, Steve. He should have the same symptom (症状) as Jack has today."
