Be healthy, Polly!

Winter has arrived in the town of Broomes. New Year, snowballs, ice skating and sleigh rides on snow slides. In short, the action develops at the rescue training ground. There is training going on for tomorrow's competition and Paulie and Roy will be participating there. They and four other teams from different cities will take part, not excluding Broomes. Two cars in one team. Paulie brings Roy over. And he catches up with him. And yet they crossed the finish line at the same time. And Amber said: — Wow, this is a record. — Yes! - Halley said. — By the way, where is Gin? - asked Paulie. Jin comes running with bulging eyes, apparently not with good news. — I have bad news! One team won’t be able to, and the other team won’t be able to either because they’re sick. — WHAT? - everyone said. — Phew... - she said, catching her breath. - And yes, I don’t know, they can’t stand it, they can’t stand it. That's the worst thing. I hope that the two teams, including ours, will not have any circumstances or illness. — Gin, you remember, I was sick recently... - said Roy. - That's why I won't get sick. — And I almost never got sick! - said Paulie. I only rule out chickenpox. My immunity is like a brick wall. — Well, let's go on patrol? - Amber asked. — Yes! - the guys answered.

The action takes place at a special sledding point. Rody, Benny and Mini almost crashed into a fence at full speed while riding the train. Thank God Amber and Paulie were there and were able to prevent the accident. And Paulie said: — Be careful, children. It is very dangerous. Learn to drive a sled. — Fine. Let's learn, the kids said. — Thank God, everyone is alive! Only the sled - and she pointed to the sled. — What do we do? - Rody asked. - If our parents find out, then we won’t have time for skating. — We’ll ask Jean to fix anything, - said Paulie. — Thank you! - they said. — Well, let's go to headquarters. Are you with us? - Amber asked. — Yes! - the kids answered. — Okay, let's go! - said the rescuers. Then snow falls from a tree onto Paul’s head. And Paulie shouted questioningly: — What is this?! Why is it cold?! — Paulie, you look like a snowman! - Mini answered and grinned. Amber helps Paulie shake the snow off her head. And he replied: — Thank you, Amber! — Please!

Paulie drives late at night to headquarters and meets Roy: — Hello. — Hello, - Roy replied. — How are you? I have great! - said Paulie. — Me too, - he said. - It was a tough day. Today was a simple day for me. Tomorrow will be difficult. In short, I will wander back and forth. And check everything everywhere. I especially need to check the port tomorrow for emergency calls - he wanted to say something else, but he sneezed, and then continued. - And tomorrow there’s another competition. — Clear. Tomorrow I won't have much to do. Can help? — Thank you, when I need help I’ll tell you. Good night! - he said. — Good night!

The next morning, Paulie wakes up with chills and a headache. And he thought: — Oh, no! What should I do? ... Today I’ll try not to reveal my illness. - He arrives in the yard. — Good morning, Paulie! - the friends answered. — Kind! - he answered tiredly. — Paulie, you look bad! - She looked at him and continued. - Are you sick? — No, as you might think, - he said. — You look tired! Maybe you should rest today? - asked the helicopter. — No, I don’t need a lot of strength. Well, I'm off! - he said and drove off. — Good luck! - and his friends shouted after him.

Paulie was on patrol and encountered Posty with Kleene. — Hello Klini and Posti, - he said in a hoarse voice. — Hello, - they said. — Are you on patrol? - asked Posty. — Yes, - he said. He sneezed and then coughed. — Paulie, are you sick? - asked Kleene. — No! - he said in an uncertain voice. — Clear! Bye, Paulie! - they said together. — Bye guys! - said the policeman. - We should check the port for emergency calls. And we can go to the competition,” thought Paulie and went there.

***

He went to the port. Everything was fine there. There were no emergency calls. In short, everything is fine. Until the following conversation began: — Are you sick? - Mrs. Belle asked. — No, what are you talking about, - he sneezed twice and continued. - I’m as healthy as an ox! — Paulie, I need to go to the city, are you with me? - asked Lifty. — Of course, - he answered. - I'm going to the city myself. — Go? - he asked. — Yes.

***

When they were driving to the city, they struck up a conversation.They were talking some nonsense. And then Lifty looked at Paulie, realizing that something was wrong with him, he asked: — How are you feeling, Paulie? — Yes, I feel good, - he said. - What a question? — Yes so! said Lifty. It seemed to Paul that one of the cars had been in an accident. And he said: — Some car is in trouble! — I guess, let's see, - Lifty had some problems with his eyesight and he wore contact lenses. Paulie ran off, with Lifty behind him. Then Lifty sees that there is no one there. Paulie saw this and was unable to brake and fell off the cliff. Thank God for the ledge and he landed there safely. And he thought: — Thank God, I’m alive! - Paulie's vision began to darken and he passed out. — Paulie! - Lifty said worriedly. - How are you there? We need to call the rescuers.

***

Meanwhile, Jin received a call from the competition staff that the first group was sick, and there was a reason for the second group not coming. — Gin! - everyone said. — Come in guys. — Where's Paulie? - Halley argued. — How do I know? I have bad news, - she told the bad news. — This competition was held in 2 weeks. — It’s a pity, I’ll definitely tell Paulie! - said Roy. — Thank you, Roy! - she said. A call came in, and Jean answered it: — Yes, a rescue team, Jean. — We have a problem, - Lifty said. — Which? - she asked. Lifty tells the story. — What? — We're leaving! - said the rescuers.

***

— Paulie! Rescuers will be there soon! - Lifty Poly began to calm down. — Be patient! Here they are! The rescuers arrived and transformed, except for Roy. — Hally, assess the situation, - Roy said. — Fine! - Hallie saw that Paulie was unconscious and he said: — Roy! Paulie is unconscious! — Before I could finish speaking, some earth and sandstone fell from the ledge. — Oh! And the ledge is collapsing! — What? - he said. — Insure him. And I'll pick it up. — Fine! - answered Helly. He insured Paulie. Then a rope with a hook came down and Hallie hooked it. They began to rise. And at the same moment the ledge collapsed! — Thank God, - he said. Everything went well. Then Amber began to examine Paulie. — How is he, Amber? - asked Roy. Everything is fine. Fell with almost no problems. Just a few scratches, but I hope Jin will fix it. He needs to be taken to headquarters, otherwise you will see for yourself. — I'll help take him to you! - said Roy. — Thanks a lot! - she said.

***

They went to the headquarters, except for Halley, because he took Lifty to the city.

In one hour. In the basement.

— How is he? - asked Roy and Hallie. — Everything is terrible. Vitality parameters almost deep in the ground, and the temperature is already on Everest. Well, everything else on earth is neither up nor down. I have a story with this. — No, Jean. The temperature is already on the moon, Roy said. Roy loved to make fun of Jean's comparisons. And Jean shouted: — HOW CAN YOU? YOU DIDN'T EVEN SUPPORT HIM! AND DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, ROY! — That's it, don't run into me. It's a joke! - Roy answered. — OK. - said Jean. - But for this joke you will have to hang Paulie! — Okay, okay, just don’t run into me! - Roy asked. Meanwhile, Paulie was slowly beginning to come to his senses. And Amber asked: — Well, Paulie, how are you? — They probably know everything, okay, I’ll tell the truth. - he thought. — Not really... - he said in a deep voice. — I feel like there are bags of something on me with this. In the cold! Brrrrrrrrr! — Let me take your temperature again! - said Jean. — Not on... — We must, Paulie, we must! — Okay... He measures. Temperature 39.5 — Hmm... Poly. You're in trouble! The temperature is rising! We should give an antipyretic and antiviral. - she thought and said: — Amber. Please give me some antipyretic and antiviral medicine. And you Roy and Helly, go rest and mind your own business. — Okay, - everyone answered. — Get well! - Helly answered. — Get well! - he said. — Get well! Thank you! - said Paulie. Roy and Helly drive away, and Paulie watches them go.

***

In about 3 hours. Jean took her temperature again. Temperature 39.0. — That's it, Paulie. You're on the mend! — This is good! What do you think of Paulie's news? - said Amber. — Yes. Cool. Eh... — What happened? - asked a friend. — I let our team down! AND YOU SAY WHAT HAPPENED?! - he shouted and coughed. — Um... You see... Ah... There will be no competition, - said Jean. — WHY? - Jean and Amber try to explain what happened. — It turns out it will be in 2 weeks. - said Paulie. - I understand? — Well, yes, - said Jean Pauley, staring at the wall. — What's happened? - they asked. — Um... How can I tell you... There's a spider on the wall. With the growth of a person. - Amber realized that Paulie seemed to have a spider there, but there wasn’t one. And then Amber said: — Blink. Pauly blinked, it turned out that there was no spider there. And he asked: — What? I saw him. Just a minute ago. — This happens when you have a high temperature, - Amber said. - Do not pay attention. — Fine. I'm a little tired. — I won’t sleep much, - he said. - We won't bother you.

***

Everyone is in the office except Paulie. — How are you, Paulie? - asked Roy. - Jean and Amber told the story. — I liked what Paulie thought, - said Helly. - I would like to see such a spider. They laughed a little from this incident and again there was a call, and they went to the call.

***

In the next morning. Amber is already taking her temperature because Roy's tire has burst and Jean is fixing it. Temperature 37.0. — Everything is fine. The temperature dropped. — How many? - he asked. - 37.0! — Do you think the temperature has subsided?! - She didn't sleep. The optimal temperature is 36.6! — 37.0 is also a normal temperature, especially during illness, - she said. - Yes, and in everyday life. It’s just that one of the stupid people said that 36.6 is a normal temperature. But that's not true. 37.0 and 35.0 are also normal temperatures. — I'll know! - Have a good time.

***

When Jean fixed Roy's tire and he wanted to go about his business. But then Jean said after him: — Have you forgotten anything? — What can I forget? - he asked. — About the promise. Did not forget? - Roy had two choices. The first choice is to say — Yes, - but Jean would and, - I'm disappointed in you, Roy!, - and the second choice is to say, - No. He took the second choice. — No, I haven’t forgotten. I wanted to visit Paulie. — That's good! — After that, will you forgive me? - asked Roy. — I’ll think about it, - she replied. — I hate her in this! - he thought. — Okay, I’ll go visit Paulie, - Roy said. — Bye. - Roy and Paulie talked. And Roy went to inspect the port.

***

Still, Pauli recovered after a week, then he had prophylaxis. For about 5 days. Then he went back to work. There will be a competition in 2 days. So that day came, or rather evening. Here is the sound of the start. Poly is overtaking his rivals. Passes the wand to Roy. Although Roy was a little late. They were in fourth place, but that's okay. After all, the main thing is participation, not victory! They arrived at headquarters. In the office. And then everyone started talking. — You were so fast today, Paulie! - said Roy. — Thank you. — You flew like the wind! - he said. — Don't embarrass me, Roy! - he asked. — I won’t! - he said and sneezed. - Be healthy, Roy! — Thank you! - He sneezed again. Everyone looked at each other. Paulie started first: — Roy, how are you feeling? — Fine, - he answered, misunderstanding. — And what? - Never mind. So, he asked. Then Amber and Jean joined in: — Are you sick, Roy? - Amber asked. — No. — You look tired! - said Jean. - Maybe you can rest? — Not really. - Hallie chimed in: — Then let’s take the temperature? — No need. — We must, Roy, we must! - said Paulie. They take out a thermometer from the first aid kit. — I said no need. He began to drive away and then everyone asked: — Where are you going? — I am well!

End.
