47.Penelope catches a cold

Hello, everyone, have you ever caught a cold?

Gather around everyone. （Yes. ）

Do you know there's a cold going around at the moment?

I caught a cold a few days ago.

Me too. I felt dizzy when I had a fever.

Fever? Dizzy?

Penelope, have you ever had a cold?

Erm? When you have a cold or a fever,

your head might feel heavy or dizzy.

Your head gets heavy and you feel dizzy?

I got really cold and shivered and shivered a lot.

I sweated a lot.

Feeling cold and shivering?

You sweat a lot.

I don't understand.

I wonder if froggy has ever caught a cold.

Oh, dear, Penelope, it's started raining.

You might catch a cold if you get wet.

Oh, dear. You have a little fever. （A fever?）

I think you've caught a cold.

A cold?

Have some medicine, Darling.

Does it taste nice?

How about you? Have you had medicine?

Don't worry, here you are. Open wide. 

It's sweet. It tastes good.

Mum, I want some more medicine. （No, Darling. ）

You have to take medicine little by little.

Now, you need to go to bed.

Oh? Do I have to go to bed now?

It's still light outside. I want to go on the swing today.

But it's raining outside,

you have to stay still, or your fever might get worse.

It's no fun, I'm not at all sleepy,

and I feel fine.

See, I can do this,

I won't tell mum about this.

I feel dizzy,

I feel strange.

I think her mum is right. It looks like Penelope has a fever.

Oh, Penelope. （Mum, ）

I feel dizzy. （Don't worry, Penelope, Mummy is here now. ）

 

Now you'd better get some sleep.

Mum.

What is it, Darling?

When my cold is better, can I go on the swing?       

Yes you can.

Can I have chocolate ice-cream?

Will you stay with me?

Yes, I'll be with you all the time.

Shall I sing your favorite song?

LuLa Lula Lula LuLaLa Lei

Let's come into the dream.

LuLa Lula Lula Lu

Look. Penelope is better now.

Her cold is gone.

The medicine didn't taste nasty at all.

I'm glad you're better, Penelope.
