SARS spreaded much faster than that people could imagine. The situation was not very hopeful. Wine read the newspaper and it said many people were dead .
Words like cough and fever became sensitive. Touching forehead had become a usual action. People didn't dare to cough even the throats were uncomfortable in case to be suspected. Some students even had bread instead of going to the dinning hall. A roommate of Wine had a little fever, for the dread of SARS, some students pleaded with their teacher for changing dorm.
As the monitor, he decided to lead his roommates to do something positive, to remove the misreading or mishearing. The way ahead may be difficult, but with confidence, there is nothing you cannot achieve.
