One day when I was 7 years old, I felt ill and I had
high fever. The next day I had spots in my body
and my mother took me to the doctor. The doctor
prescribed me an antiviral medication. I couldn't
go to school, but my best friend always visited me.
The next week my best friend felt bad, I passed
her the chicken pox.
