It's raining outside, the wind is blowing and Reza is away from school because he has flu. And how long the days seem without his friends. No wonder he is feeling bored, all by himself. Daddy has gone to work, mummy is busy with the house work. There's only Bobo the cat, at the side of Reza's bed. Bobo knows his young master is sick, so he is content just to young master is sick, so he is content just to watch him and lick his hand so often.
"Nobody has come to see me", says Reza sadly. "Not even for a little while."
"Now, don't be sad", said his mother, "the doctor said you had to lie down in bed and rest." Just then the door bell rings. Who could it be?
Reza has visitor after all! It is Mr Zaky, his teacher, "And how is the patient, today?" he smiles.
"Sir", groans Reza "I'm so bored!"
"You'll soon be on your feet," says his teacher.
"Look, your friends at school have asked me to bring you this letter. They've all signed it!"
"Look, your friends at school have asked me to bring you this letter. They've all signed it!"
Reza opens the envelope and reads the letter. "We all hope that you will soon get better," it ends. "We miss you a lot."
Reza's eyes begin to shine, just a little. Do you think this is because he has the flu?
