she sees you and him in the nose what happened. She says "oh Johnny, didn't I tell you not to touch any of the animals at the endangered animal exhibitat the park? Did you forget about the curse that was put on you years ago?" I realize that I was cursed by a traveling gypsy, when I touched is monkey without permission. unable to speak, I just nodded. Further out the door heard my father say "why is Johnny not yet?" Mom says "Because, Johnny has touched one of the animals at the exhibit yesterday." father says " oh for God's sake, which one?" Mom says "I believe it's a Florida panther."

dad ran to my room and looks at me and says "call the school, tell them that Johnny won't be in today. If they ask why, say that Johnny is running a fever. I need to find that gypsy and ask him that this curse is gone far enough and he needs to left it."
