Chapter 4

Rocket v Meningitis (Round 1).

For two months things were sailing along nicely when I got in a fight with a thing called Meningitis, which sounds like gingivitis but it’s a lot worse. It doesn’t attach your gums but tries to eat your brain like a zombie.

Everyone thought I was going to lose this fight except me. I knew I could do it. I copied Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle and hung on for 14 rounds then bashed him when he was tired.

And I won.

And then it was Christmas and I got a fluffy giraffe and a zebra with wheels. And I made mummy and daddy a card and signed it with my foot.
