Chase after smelly flies

Chasing The Smelly Flies (Classic Passbook)

I was taken to a field hospital. In the hospital room, I was told that someone would come to see me that afternoon. It was hot that day and many flies flew around the room. My paramedic tied all the cut notes to a small stick and made a simple broomstick. He used the broom to whizz away the flies, and the flies were forced to rest on the ceiling. But as soon as the paramedic dozed off, the broom stopped waving, and the flies flew down. At first I tried to blow them away, but there were too many flies, and finally I could only cover my face with my hands and fall asleep in a daze. When I woke up, I felt an itch on my legs. I immediately woke up the paramedic and he poured some mineral water on my bandages. But I didn't expect to make the bed wet and cold because of this. The other patients who were awake in the ward began to talk to each other. The summer afternoon is quiet. The next morning, three male nurses and a doctor came to inspect the beds one by one, and they carried the patients one by one to the dressing room to change the dressing, and the nurses took the opportunity to re-make the beds.
