Male Female

One day I got caught in the rain while I was working from school. I didn't have an umbrella or a jacket, so I got completely wet. At first, I felt fine, but the next morning I woke up with a headache and fever, and I realized I had a cold. I felt very tired and weak, so I stayed at home and didn't go to school that day. I spent most of the time in bed drinking tea and sleeping, and my mom gave me medicine. I tried to rest as much as possible. I was sick and couldn't do my homework or go to my course. It made me feel a bit sad and bored. After two days of rest, I got over the cold and started feeling better. I think it wasn't a fun experience, and I always took an umbrella with me.
