The mother was sitting near the baby's crib, not taking her eyes off he. The child was
delirious, he had a high fever, his cheeks were burning, and there were shadows under his
eyes. A neighbor came in, brought a thermometer and some medicine. She said that these
medicines will reduce the temperature. Two hours later, the mother measured the child's
temperature and saw that the medicine did not help. The doctor came and said that the
child has pneumonia, but there is no serious danger yet. He asked when the boy got sick.
The mother remembered that since Tuesday he had been saying all the time that his head
ached and his whole body ached. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine," said the doctor,
"but you should take the child to the hospital." "I would rather take care of him myself,"
said the mother. "Well," said the doctor, "I won't insist. There's no need to worry. If you
follow my instructions exactly, I am sure he will be better in a few days.” The doctor left,
but thought it would be better to send the child to the hospital after all.
