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 had a twitch in his nose. His neck felt sore. He did not feel well at all. But was Nitwit going to stay home? No way. 'Fine!' Nitwit told his chum at the bell. 'Not sick. Not weak. Not even a little bit sick.' He crossed his arms.

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 marched along the grassy track. Plants swayed and birds sang. Then his nose began to twitch. 'I will not sneeze,' he muttered. 'I will not...' A... A... ACHOO! The plants went flat and the birds fled, but Nitwit just kept walking.

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 shuffled home. Cat was asleep in his hut. 'Do not fret,' Nitwit said. 'I am not sick, so I just need a nap.' A... A... ACHOO! Cat jumped up in shock and gave Nitwit a mean look. 'So much dust,' said Nitwit.

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 see Dog, but Dog did not look well. He had a red, wet nose, and he was shivering all over. A... A... ACHOO! A wet mess went flying, and Nitwit ducked. He had never seen such a deep, wet sneeze. 'Yuck, Dog, go and rest in bed,' said Nitwit.

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 home, Nitwit was leaning on the wall. His arms felt weak. He felt odd and fuzzy. His nose felt like it was full of bees. 'I told Dog to sleep,' Nitwit mumbled. 'But I do not need sleep. I feel fine. I feel...' A... A... ACHOO! The sneeze beat him to it!

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.

His bed was just there, with soft red sheets and a thick red blanket. Nitwit gave the bed a long, hard look. He crossed his arms and lifted his chin. He had told Dog to sleep, but he did not need sleep. 'Not sick,' said Nitwit. 'Fine. Fine.'
