Peter Brown sat quietly when Dr. Johnson examined him. The doctor looked at the boy’s throat, took his temperature and listened to his heart. Finally, he asked Peter’s mother a few questions.
“When did Peter begin to feel ill?” “This morning when he got up. He said he felt too sick to go to school today.” “What did he eat for breakfast?” “Orange juice, two pieces of bread, an egg and a glass of milk.” I see,” the doctor asked Peter, “How do you feel now,my boy?” Peter answered “Terrible, I think I’m going to die(死).”The doctor said, “You won’t die. In fact, you’ll be fine by dinner time.” “Oh, doctor! Do you really think so?” Peter’s mother looked very glad, Dr. Johnson answered, “Mrs. Brown, your son has a sickness that is common(普通的)to boys at a time like this. It comes and goes quickly.
Mrs. Brown said, “But I don’t understand.” “Today,” the doctor told her, “the most exciting football final of the World Cup is on TV. If Peter feel well enough to watch TV this afternoon, and I think he does. He will be fine when the final is over. It’s the only cure(疗法) I know of this sickness. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go across the street to see the Ford’s boy, Steve. He seems to have the same thing as Peter has today.”
