tasks. Suddenly Sandra Dewi vomited. All other students stopped writing. Mrs. Lidia helped her
immediately. The chairman of the class sent for the school’s doctor.
In five minutes the doctor came. He examined her carefully. He examined her eyes. He felt her
stomach. He listened to her heart beat. He measured her blood pressure. Then he took her
temperature.
“I’m afraid she suffers from malaria. Her temperature is very high. That is why she vomited.
She has a very bad cough, too. I’ll give her some pills for her malaria, some tablets for her fever,
