Sick Day
Ben picked up a book and started to read. After a few minutes, he closed the book with a sigh. Then he turned on the television. Ben flipped through a dozen channels, but he couldn't find anything to look at. His lunch sat on the table by his bed. He wasn't even hungry. Ben had to admit that staying home sick was boring.
