Toy Saves a Boy’s Life – level 1
08-05-2017 07:00
A boy is sick. Doctors say that he has a bad headache. His mother thinks that it is something else. Her son acts differently. He is angry. He vomits at night.
He draws a picture on his Etch-A-Sketch. He draws the pain in his head. His mother takes a picture of the drawing. She shows it to the doctors.
Doctors do a brain scan on the boy. They find a deadly brain tumour. They do an operation. The boy is now getting better at home.
Difficult words: Etch-A-Sketch (a toy where you can draw a picture and then erase it), brain scan (a way to look inside your brain to find what is there), brain tumour (when your body grows a thing in your head that is bad for you).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
