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(彫価)end of the thermometer (梁業柴)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(斧遊)��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��
