I have tried many ways to be ill.I don’t wear a sweater when I should, and two days ago I walked in the rain without my shoes.But so far nothing has happened.Debbie once told me about a boy in her class who milked being away from school.He would rub(摩擦)end of the thermometer (温度计)l it went up to 39℃.Then he’d put it in his mouth and his mother would think he was really ill.
This morning I was trying doing that but it never went above 35℃ and I rubbed it for ten minutes.So I held the thermometer next to the light on my desk and it went up to 40℃。I thought I’d put it in my mouth and walked downstairs like that.Then my mother would take it out and she would be worried when she saw that I was rather ill.
The only trouble was I didn’t know the thermometer would be so hot.As soon as I put it into my mouth I burnt my tongue(舌头)!I spat the thermometer out.It fell on the floor but it didn’t break.
I will have to think up a better way to get my mother and father back together.
