Sheepie Rags: The Verdict!
Once again, your faithful reporter was on hand to witness the commencement of the trial of the suspect, the Bug.
The kindly woman doctor was called upon again to examine the victim - no, not the victim - QY, as she has asked this reporter to refer to her as, because "How can I be called a 'victim' when I have God??"
Back to the story. Once again the doctor looked at the blisters under her spotlight-magnifier thingy. She and the policeman exchanged some 'intellectual discussion' while the Bug continued to tremble pathetically in a corner, and QY listened quietly, occasionally casting a sympathetic glance at the smelly thing in the corner.
Finally, after 15 to 20 minutes of debate (This reporter is sorry she forgot her mobile phone that day, and it is her onlt means of telling the time), the verdict............
Chicken Pox.
The Bug heaved an extremely audible sigh of relief, at which the policeman shot him a dirty look and the thing started shaking again.
"It was really chicken pox," the policeman said in disbelief.
"Yes, very mild. Maybe because of the medicine I prescribed. I once had a case where the patient only had 5 blisters."
Th policeman looked skeptical.
"Well, there are 4 strains of the bacteria that cause chicken pox. There is a wild strain, that is the one that causes a person to have a few hundred blisters..." the doctor explained, only almost everyone in the station had tuned out with the exception of QY.
This reporter is ashamed to say that she fell asleep too. However, she has learnt her lesson and done some research. For more information, click here.
The Bug was eventually reluctantly set free by the policeman.
