☆THE SECRET☆

I choose The secret from books I borrowed last week.

Andrew is a member of basketball team in his school. He thinks he is just a normal player among them. Chris Draper is a one of his team members and his play is great. Also he was tough. The day they won the game, Andrew went to bed early but he didn't feel good. At midnight he woke up because he could hardly breath. He got into panic and opened the window to have more air. Later he started to breathe normally again. His mum went into his room because of the noise. She told him to see a doctor the next day and they went to sleep that night. The next day they went to the clinic. The doctor told them that Andrew has an asthma. As one of the medications for it, he was given an inhaler. Whenever he feels short of breath, and before he does any kind of exercise, he had to use the inhaler. He thought using it doesn't look cool, so he decided to keep his asthma secret. So from then, he tried to use the inhaler when he is alone.

One day, when Andrew was just about to use the inhaler before game, someone called his name. It was Chris. Chris told Andrew that he wanted to wait him there. Andrew couldn't use the inhaler. He thought it wouldn't a big deal. However, at the end of the game, Andrew felt attack come on and gasped in front of everyone. He went to the hospital pretty soon. In the hospital, Andrew thought he should have used the inhaler and decided to use it from then. Then Chris and his mum went to see him to the hospital. Chris confessed that he has an asthma also, and feel embarrassed to use the inhaler. They decided to use it together before games.

This kind of story is good for little kids, I think. It teaches useful lesson.
