I have tried many ways to be ill. I don’t wear a sweater when I should, and two days ago I walked in the rain without my shoes. But so far nothing has happened. Debbie once told me about a boy in her class who liked being away from school. He would rub (擦) the end of the thermometer (溫度計) until it went up to 39℃. Then he’d put it in his mouth and his mother would think he was really ill.

This morning I tried doing that but it never went above 35℃ and I rubbed it for ten minutes. So I held the thermometer next to the light on my desk and it went up to 40℃. I thought I’d put it in my mouth and walk downstairs like that. Then my mother would take it out and she would be worried when she saw that I was rather ill.

The only trouble was I didn’t know the thermometer would be so hot. As soon as I put it into my mouth I burnt my tongue! I spit the thermometer out. It fell on the floor but it didn’t break.

I will have to think up a better way to get my mother and father back together.
