Luke’s very important illness

One grey winter’s morning, I woke up feeling ill. I had a cold, a sore throat and a temperature. Mum said, “You must feel terrible, you poor thing. You should go to bed right now! And remember to drink lots of water.”

About an hour later, she came to check on me. “I’m going out to get you some medication,” she said. “Don’t watch TV. You should try to sleep. And remember to drink lots of water.”

But as soon as she left, I ran downstairs and found the laptop. Then I jumped back into bed, and began to search for TV programmes on it.

Soon I found one of my favourite programmes. But after a few minutes, I noticed something even more interesting: a competition to win £10,000 and a holiday in Mexico! All I had to do was answer a simple question:

If you’ve got a temperature, what should you do?
A -wear warm clothes?
B- have a throat lozenge?
C -drink lots of water?

I quickly sent a text message with the correct answer to the number shown on the screen.

And then I waited ...

I couldn’t believe it when, a few minutes later, my mobile phone started ringing. “Congratulations, you’ve won the competition!” said the lady on the phone. I started screaming. “You must be very happy!” she shouted.

At that moment, Mum came home. When she heard all the noise from my room she ran upstairs in a panic.

“Luke! What’s wrong?” she asked. “Are you feeling worse?”

Then she saw the laptop. “You shouldn’t be watching programmes! What did I tell you?”

But her attitude soon changed when I explained what had happened. “It can’t be true. It can’t!” she kept saying. “We haven’t had a holiday for years!”

Well, that was four months ago. Since then, we’ve been to Mexico for a fantastic two-week holiday and Mum used the £10,000 to buy a new kitchen. She gave some money to me and my sister as well.

Colds are horrible, but for me, it’s the best thing that has ever happened. It was the most important cold of my life!
