"You go up to bed," I said, "You're sick."

　　"I'm all right," he said.

　　When the doctor came he took the boy's temperature.

　　"What's is it?" I asked him.

　　"One hundred and two."

　　Downstairs, the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them. One was to bring down the fever, another a purgative(泻药), the third to overcome an acid condition. The germs of influenza（流感）can only exist in an acid condition, he explained. He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees. This was a light epidemic(传染病；传染性的) of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia（肺炎）.

　　Back in the room I wrote the boy's temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules.

　　"Do you want me to read to you?"

　　"All right. If you want to, " said the boy. His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes. He lay still in the bed and seemed very detached（超然的；冷漠的）from what was going on.

　　I read aloud from Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates（海盗）;but I could see he was not following what I was reading.

　　"How do you feel, Schatz?" I asked him.

　　"Just the same, so far," he said.
