Hello! I am Amanda. This is my brother Herman. He is 10 years old. For 3 days he has been very sick.
Akoriabe! Amanda no anarako. Izy no Herman, zandry lahyko. Folo taona izy. Narary be izy nandritra ny telo andro.
First, his head started hurting. Next, he started having a fever. And then he got a stomach ache.
Voalohany, narary loha izy. Faharoa, voan’ny tazo izy. Avy eto, narary kibo izy.
He still has a fever and a stomach ache. His temperature is 37 degrees. He needs some medicine please.
Mbola marary kibo sy voan’ny tazo izy. Sivy amby telopolo degre ny hafanany. Mila fanafody izy, azafady. Soatra e!
