My brother and I got food
poisoning after we ate bad spaghetti in
Egypt. A doctor came, and said
seriously, “Stay away from other
people.” We thought we had an exotic
disease. Goodness, my brother and I
complained a lot. We stayed in the hotel
room for a week, but the doctor visited
daily. I told him, “Thank you.” Wow, we
were sick forever.
