 
Once upon a time there was a little girl named Maria. She liked to explore and loved being outside. One day, while she was playing in the field, she saw an animal that she had never seen before. She was so excited and decided to get closer to it. 
Suddenly, the animal sneezed twice and Maria jumped back! She was not feeling well and started to feel sick. She started to cry and said, "What's wrong with me?" 
Just then, her mom came running out and said, "Maria, why are you so far from home?" 
Maria told her mom about the animal and the bad sneezes. Mom said, "It sounds like you have caught a cold, and you need to go inside and rest." 
So, Maria and her mom went home and Maria took a nap. She woke up feeling much better. From then on, she knew to be careful around strange animals and to wash her hands afterwards.
