RoboHen is a Terrible Patient

This is another RoboHen word study story authored by the mom, not the boy.

It was winter, and RoboHen had a fever. His mom had a big problem taking care of him. She covered him with a blanket, but he kept throwing it off. She wanted him to be silent because his throat hurt, but he kept yelling. She closed his window so he wouldn't catch a chill, but he kept opening it. He was a terrible patient who refused to follow directions.

The other female in the house, RoboHen's sister, had no luck either. He threw his pillow at her and bit her finger. She tried to bring him some water to help him feel better. Instead of drinking it, he only dumped it on the floor. After that, RoboHen's mom took charge again.

She brought him his fuzzy yellow blanket and his favorite book, RoboHen in Oz. She started with chapter number one. In a few moments, RoboHen stopped acting crazy and started to calm down. He thought it was funny when the twister carried him to Oz, and he smiled sleepily. He really liked it when he became a member of Dorothy's travelling party to go see the Wizard. He tiredly traced the letters on the cover, and as his feathers moved over the pattern of the yellow brick road, he fell fast asleep. His mom kissed his forehead so he would have sweet dreams, and wished with all her heart that his fever would break and he would wake up feeling better.

And so it did, and he did.
