Sickness about Feng           

by Zhuohua

        Feng used to get sick many times when he was a little boy. But he doesn’t always get sick now. In his memories, get sick made him feel so bored. He was so tired at that time. He didn’t want to do anything. And he only wanted to sleep on his bed.

        Feng is a healthy boy. He didn’t get some disease in his life. He just got fever, cold and any small sicknesses. He also thinks he is healthy. He said that the reason is he is so active and he doesn’t have a stomachache.

        Feng said that he thinks getting sick is a very bad thing. Because it would make him not able to go outside to play basketball, swim or play games with his friends in summer. He just can stay in his bed to take a rest and take medicine. He will be so bored at hot moments.

         Feng’s parents are very caring about Feng’s health when Feng gets sick. They put the medicine to Feng and looked for him at the midnight. They hoped Feng could have a healthy body.

        Feng thinks that anytime he could get sick. He should sleep at home for a long time and take a rest on these busy days.
