Bill was walking down the street when he came across an old man with a very bad cough. Not wanting to catch whatever it was the old man had, Bill gave him a wide berth and didn’t breathe until the sound of coughing died away.
When he got home, the house was quiet. This seemed out of place because his sister usually watched cartoons in the living room after school. He went looking for her, and after a quick search, Bill found her sick in bed. She looked like she had a fever and was coughing like crazy. Bill feared that she had the flu, so he ran out of the room as fast as he could. However, it was too late because that night his head and throat started hurting and he was achy all over.
比爾正在街上走時，遇到一位老先生咳嗽咳得很厲害。不管老先生是得了哪種疾病比爾都不想染上，所以遠遠地躲開他而且摒住呼吸，直到咳嗽聲逐漸消失為止。
他回到家時，屋子裡靜悄悄的。這似乎不太尋常，因為他妹妹通常放學後會在客廳裡看卡通。他去找妹妹，經過一番快速搜尋，比爾發現她臥病在床。她似乎發燒了，而且拼命地咳嗽。比爾怕她得了流感，所以儘快的跑出房間。然而，已經太遲了，因為那天晚上他開始頭痛、喉嚨痛而且全身疼痛。
