Doctor 3: What seems to be the problem, kid?

Daniel: I’ve got a sore throat, a runny nose and a headache.

Doctor 3: Ah…How long have you been like this?

Daniel: I am not very sure. Maybe for three days.

Doctor 3: Do you have any stomachache?

Daniel: I guess so. It comes and goes.

Doctor 3: Open your mouth and say “ah…” God, you are suffering from the swelling of tonsils.

Daniel: Is that serious, doctor?

Doctor 3: Yes, I am sure that you got the flu. You need a shot.

Daniel: Oh, doctor. Do I have to? I am afraid of needles!

Doctor 3: Yes, that’s for sure. But it is not that bad. It’s gonna be all right.

Daniel: Oh, doctor, please…

Doctor 3: Be brave, young man. Only girls cry when given an injection.

Daniel: You are right. I won’t cry anymore.

丹尼爾：嚴重嗎，醫生?

醫生3：是的。我肯定你是得了流感。你得打一針。

丹尼爾：你說得對，我不會哭了。
