PRACTICE FIVE
Ramesh’s father was hospitalized a few days back due to high fever. He was kept under observation and the doctors ran regular blood tests on him. Feeling worried about his father, Ramesh seemed out of sorts in school.
“Are you all right?” asked Lisa, Ramesh’s good friend.
Ramesh buried his face in his hands and sobbed quietly. “My father is in hospital. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but his fever doesn’t go away.”
Lisa wrapped her arms around Ramesh’s shoulder and gave him a tight squeeze. “Don’t worry, he will be fine. Why not I go with you to visit your father after school?”
Ramesh dried his tears with the back of his hands and looked at Lisa with grateful eyes before saying, “Thank you, my friend.”
