David woke up feeling sick. He had a fever and a runny nose. "Oh no," he thought. "I can't go to school today." David's mom saw him and said, "You have the flu, David. Stay home and rest." David stayed in bed all day. He drank warm soup and watched his favorite cartoon. He missed his friends and his teacher, but he knew he needed to get better. The next day, David felt much better. He went back to school and told his friends about his day off. They were happy he was feeling well again.
