Thank You, Logan!
Sniffles and Snuffles
One morning, Logan finds Razzi snuggled on the bookshelf between two books. Logan carries him carefully back to his hutch. Miss Sparks, noticing how the children treat Razzi, asks if they’d like to take care of him. The children would split up into partners, and the partners must care for Razzi as a team for one week. They’d have to get Razzi fresh water, food, and clean his hutch. Most importantly, they’d be in charge of giving Razzi love!
Logan can’t wait until it’s her turn. So, she helps the other children when it’s their turn. Logan helps Connor take care of Razzi when Lindy is out sick. Logan helps scoop the poop for Delaney and Nathan because they think the poop is icky.
Finally, it’s Logan and Spencer’s turn to take care of Razzi. But on Monday morning, Logan feels funny. She has sniffles and a cloud inside her head. But she’s excited to take care of Razzi, so she swipes her nose and hurries on her way.
When she gets to school, Logan immediately goes to Razzi and picks him up. Razzi wiggles his nose and nestles into Logan’s arm happily. While talking to him, she realizes that her throat is sore. But she’s too happy to care! After Spencer arrives and they do their chores, Logan goes to give Razzi a kiss. But suddenly, her nose feels strange, and she lets out a huge sneeze!
The next day, Spencer sniffles as he fills the food bowl. But, they continue their chores. When Logan goes to give Razzi a kiss, he seems sleepy. The next morning, Logan learns Spencer is out sick with a cold. And when Logan goes to give Razzi his kiss, he just lifts one ear. Logan also notices he didn’t eat his food from the day before. Logan sees Razzi has watery eyes and a runny nose. And then, Razzi does the most surprising thing—he sneezes.
And then Logan realizes. She gave Razzi her cold! Miss Sparks comes over. Logan begins to cry because she feels so bad for giving Razzi her cold. Miss Sparks gives Logan a big hug, and explains that in rabbits, it’s called snuffles. But, rabbits can’t catch snuffles from people. Although, people can catch colds from other people.
Logan thinks back to her week. Maybe she gave Spencer a cold, too! Miss Sparks affirms that multiple children are out sick with colds lately. She’s sure a lot of germs have been passed around. And that’s why it’s important to cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze, either with a tissue or in the crook of the elbow. And then, you must always wash your hands. And then, Miss Sparks says they’ll take Razzi to the veterinarian later today, so he begins to feel better soon.
