False Alarm
06:17 Nana measures her temperature.
The spring sun has already risen up. The morning breeze comes in through the windows. Sandra finished doing yoga, but she is still sitting comfortably on the carpet in her room. Lina is in the kitchen, singing and preparing typical Palestinian breakfast. Nana takes the sunbath in the balcony. It seems to be a very nice day, BUT... WAIT one moment.
Karolina is running to the kitchen with her pale face, almost blue lips, shaking voice.
“GIRLS! I can't breathe, it hurts so much!”
Nana asks her to check the temperature. Now it's Karolina's turn...
09:11 Karolina measures her temperature.
The girls are awaiting impatiently for the result.
“God, noo, please! It's 37.4°!”
“We are in trouble!” said Lina with terrified voice.
10:47 Giuseppe starts to play the piano.

10:55 Only a five-minute walk away from the girls house Eduardo wakes up suddenly, checks the time... And goes back to sleep.

It was a false alarm. Karolina's normal temperature is 37°. Uh, this hypochondriac girl!
18:48 Nana measures her temperature.
