''I'm afraid we have to take him into the hospital.'' ''I don't know the cause of this,'' Sniffles explained, ''but this is no minor fever.'' He placed his hand on Shifty's shoulder. There's some sort of contracting in his lungs.'' ''His heart is going quite fast.'' he said to Shifty. His eyes widened a bit as he heard the raccoon's breathing and heart rate. Sniffles took out his stethoscope and placed it over Lifty's chest. As Lifty's temperature rose, so too did the fear rise in his brother. He realized Lifty had grown hotter in the last few minutes. ''He's burning worse than I thought.'' he said with surprise. He placed his hand on Lifty's forehead and quickly jerked it away and wiped it. Sniffles stood by Lifty's bed as he looked down at the still-unconscious raccoon. ''Where is he?'' the anteater calmly asked. He ran to answer it and found Sniffles standing at the entrance, a black leather bag in hand, his calm demeanor so out of place next to Shifty's anxious, fearful one. Where are you, Sniffles?, he thought anxiously.įinally, he heard a knock at the front door. Shifty was glad that had passed, but his heart grew heavier in anticipation. Panicked, Shifty ran to Lifty's bed and held his hand in both of his until the coughing spasm had passed. Suddenly he heard Lifty coughing behind him. He looked out the window, eagerly waiting for Sniffles. He kept glancing at Lifty, who was growing no better. Shifty paced the room, unable to sit still.
