Shivering under the blanket, Tony tried his best to fall asleep. It was an incredibly hard thing to do when he was down with a high fever and a painful headache. To make things worse, he felt the urge to throw up every five minutes. The sick boy blamed the inedible fried rice that his mother had bought a few hours ago. It was only after he had vomited a whole chunk of food that he discovered that his mother had apparently bought the food from an unhygienic vendor who had cockroaches and rats all over his food stall.
Tony groaned in pain. Why in the world did his mother still bought the food even from the obvious clues that the food he had cooked may be contaminated? She bought the food and he had to suffer painfully because of his mother's mistakes.
Looking at the bright side, at least he did not have to attend school for the next two days and by default, he had a pretty long weekend ahead of him. Smiling to himself, Tony was glad he got to miss school. He only had a brief moment of happiness and optimism before he started to cough violently.
