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.
