The Time I Got Pneumonia
When I was little I got pneumonia. I was scared as I was rushed off to the hospital. But the hospital was a lot of fun. The people there were really nice because they knew that some kids were scared in the hospital. The people there gave me massages (ouch those hurt), let me watch TV all day and I even went to a dog show. At the dog show the owners said, "Don't touch the dogs" and you can guess what everyone did, they petted the dogs! Then I left the hospital.

I had a fun experience except for that the medicine was
awful. I had to throw it up every time I took it. It tasted like old moldy strawberries mixed with fluff and fungus. Yuck!

Thanks for listening to my story!
