Diana, Sue and Nancy are now waking up in bed and went to the bathroom to brush their teeth. Then, they spit the toothpaste out of their mouth and put their toothbrush away. They will be staying home today as a matter of fact. The coronavirus is happening of course. Let's hope that Diana and her friends will be staying home during the coronavirus.

"Morning, mom" said Diana.

"Good morning, Di" said Mrs. Evans. "I am making pancakes for breakfast"

"That smells good, mom" said Diana. "In fact, I like having pancakes for breakfast"

"Can you call out your friends, Di?" Mrs. Evans asked.

"I sure will, mom" said Diana. "Girls, breakfast is ready"

"We'll be right there, Di" said Sue.

"Okay, girls" said Diana.

Her friends came downstairs and went to the table.

"What are we having for breakfast?" Nancy asked.

"We are having pancakes for breakfast" said Diana.

"I like having pancakes" said Sue.

"Same here" said Nancy.

"Let's eat" said Diana.

After breakfast, Diana and her friends are reading the newspaper.

"Look at this, girls" said Diana.

"What is it, Di?" Sue asked.

"It is a story about the coronavirus" said Diana.

"That is a bad one" said Sue.

"Yes, it is, girls" said Diana.

"We can only stay here at home, Di" said Sue.

"That is true, girls" said Diana.

"What should we do today, Di?" Sue asked.

"We can stay home all day" said Diana.

"That's fine with me, Di" said Sue.

"I don't like the coronavirus" said Diana.

"Me either, Di" said Sue.

"How long is the COVID-19?" Nancy asked.

"About a few weeks or so" said Diana.

"We won't be going to school by then" said Sue.

"That is true, girls" said Diana.

"We already learned the news about that virus" said Nancy.

"I don't want to get sick from that virus" said Diana.

"We can only go to the yard, Di" said Sue.

"I know that already" said Diana. "It will be a while for that virus to go away"
