Grandfather was ill
African Storybook
Leo Daly and Magriet Brink
I always wear a mask when I go out.
A mask protects me. And it protects others.
I wash my hands with soap and water before I leave home.
And when I arrive home, too.
When I greet my friend, we only touch our elbows!
My grandfather was very sick. He went to hospital.
Dad called every day for news about grandfather.
Grandfather was fit and healthy before he got sick.
He got better.
Then, my brother started coughing.
"My throat is sore," he said.
"Cough into your elbow!" said auntie.
"Wear a mask. Keep your distance! Stay in your bed!" she told him.
So, my brother stayed in his bed and read.
