peter and john are classmates. one day, they met on their way home after school. peter asked john what was wrong with him because john looked a little pale. john told him that he didn't feel well because he had a cold and a slight fever.
peter asked john if he had seen the doctor. john said that he had and the doctor had given him some medicine and asked him to take a rest. peter advised john to stay in bed for some time and to take good care of himself. john thanked him and asked him to tell the teacher that he wanted to ask for a day's sick leave.
