I will share with you true story that happened a couple of day ago. One of my classmates bought a bag of snacks from a food store. A few classmates were then inviting to enjoy the snacks. Unluckily, all of us got poisoned and had stomachaches with their faces pale. They were quickly sent to a nearby hospital. Doctors examined them but gave them some medicine.

Love,

Ma
