Tom was not feeling well. He could not sleep as well as he used to. He could not eat properly. Sometimes he did not like to play. He was unhappy.
Aunt Polly thought him ill. So she decided to give him some medicine. Her new idea about the medicine was that he must bath in cold water every day. Therefore, she made Tom stand outside in the yeard every morning and threw ice-cold water over him. After that she wrapped him in a wet sheet and made him lie in bed. But Tom did not get better. He got worse. Aunt Polly tried a new idea and threw hot water instead of cold water. It could also not affect Tom.
