On the left side of the image, Nitwit stands in the foreground with arms crossed, looking unwell with a downturned expression and slightly flushed face. Behind Nitwit, a bell structure rises on wooden posts in a village square, and another villager (Nitwit's chum) stands near the bell as if waiting for him. The scene is set outdoors in a Minecraft village during daytime with a bright, slightly cloudy sky and green grass underfoot. The right side of the image is plain green background.

Nitwit was sick but wouldn't admit. "Not sick!" he told Jack. "Not one bit!" Arms crossed, standing tall. "I'm fine! Not sick at all!"

On the right side of the image, Nitwit stands on a thick patch of bright green grass, leaning forward slightly with his eyes squinted shut and mouth scrunched up in a pre-sneeze grimace, arms braced at his sides — clearly about to unleash a massive sneeze. The outdoor scene is set on a bright sunny day with blue sky and white clouds, with blocky trees and yellow flowers dotting the grassy landscape behind him. The left side of the image is plain green background, clear for text overlay.

Nitwit went on the thick grass track. His nose gave a twitch, then... achoo, what a crack!

On the left side of the image, Nitwit stands inside a small wooden cabin, facing forward with eyes squeezed shut and mouth wide open in a powerful mid-sneeze, arms crossed tightly in front of his body as the sneeze erupts. Cat sits on the floor nearby to Nitwit's left, looking up at him with wide startled eyes. The interior scene shows wooden plank walls, a wooden door, and a window letting in daylight. The right ~40% of the image is plain green background for text overlay.

Nitwit snuck back to his shack. Cat sat snug, plump and black. Then... achoo! Huge shock for Cat! She shot up, stiff and flat!

On the right side of the image, inside a wooden house with a stone ceiling and parquet floor, Dog is standing and sneezing explosively — a massive burst of blue particles sprays outward from Dog, filling much of the room. Nitwit is visible on the far right, ducking and recoiling from the blast of sneeze particles with a disgusted expression. A window in the background shows a green yard outside, and the left side of the image is plain green background.

Nitwit went to check on Dog, who felt sick. His nose ran and his breath came quick. Dog's huge achoo made Nitwit duck. Nitwit said, 'Yuck, yuck, yuck!'

On the left side of the image, Nitwit stands inside a wooden house, looking unwell with a droopy, miserable expression — eyes half-closed and mouth slightly open as if mid-sneeze. His arms are folded across his chest and he leans slightly against the wooden wall behind him. The indoor scene shows wooden plank walls and floor, with a glimpse of green outdoors visible through an opening to the left. The right side of the image is plain mint-green background.

Back in his shack, Nitwit had no luck. 'Not sick, just dust and muck!' Achoo! He fell flat on his back, and the whole shack went crack!

Page 6
On the right side of the image, Nitwit is standing inside a wooden house, viewed from a top-down angle. Nitwit has a stubborn, slightly grumpy expression with arms crossed, looking up at the viewer defiantly — clearly refusing to go to bed. Behind him, a simple wooden bed with a red wool blanket is visible against the wall, conspicuously empty. A bookshelf with colorful books is visible against the wall to the right. The left ~40% of the image is plain mint-green background, and the indoor wooden plank floor transitions into this open space.

The bed was soft, red, and thick. But Nitwit yelled, 'I am not sick!' He crossed his arms, chin tucked to his neck. He shook his head, 'Go on and check!'
