There once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” They sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.

“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”

The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.”

At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive presents.

Have you ever had the flu(流感)? If you have, you know how bad it can make you feel. Most kids will get the flu sometime during their school years.

When you have the flu, you usually get a fever(发烧) (which can be high), have a cough(咳嗽), feel very tired, and may have a sore throat(喉咙痛) as well. It can make you feel sick for a few days or for as long as a week. Sometimes, it can be hard to tell if you have the flu or a cold, but with the flu, you'll usually have a higher fever and feel much worse.

The flu is a type of virus(病毒), which means medicine will only help the symptoms such as the cough and fever. For most kids, the flu comes and goes, but for some, it can be a serious illness. Most kids get the flu in winter because germs(细菌) spread(传播) more easily when kids are inside in settings such as classrooms.

The best way to stop from getting the flu is to wash your hands often, keep your hands to yourself, and go to your doctor for the flu shot(注射) or mist(喷雾).
