Goat Flu Pandemic


Arthur wants to know if NHL and the Stanley cup was around during the Spanish flu pandemic era or not. So he is going to ask his friend Brain about it. He has the answer if it was or not. Arthur is wise to ask him.

"Brain was the NHL around during the Spanish flu?" said Arthur, "And the Stanley cup?"
"No Arthur it was not," said Brain, " Thanks for asking me."
"No problem Brain," said Arthur, "I knew you had the answer."
"I am glad you asked me," said Brain, "You are also smart."

They are now heading to school as always. Joined by Brain as well. They are walking to school together and went inside. Went to their lockers. And then went in the classroom. 5 minutes Mr. Ratburn came in. Lessons began. Later at recess. They are all talking about what they had back then.

"Well they did play sports of course. MLB was around," said Brain, "But not NHL and them. So we had the Greb's back then."
"That is good," said Buster, "That is our team. Except you Muffy."
"That is true," said Muffy, "We are kings fans. As in my family."
"Of course," said Francine, ' We know that."
"Yes we do," said Arthur, "Go on Brain."

He went on and on as they played. Then came lunch. So they will take off their mask. So they can eat and drink. They hate wearing mask. But they must.

"Glad to have them mask off," said Arthur, "So we can eat and drink."
"Can't wait until for good," said Francine, "Mask wearing is strange."
"Yes but we must," said Brain, " Until it is over as in Pandemic."

After school they are studying for a big math test. See what happens next chapter.
