SCORPION FISH

Luckily, there was a doctor on the beach - she was a         SURGERY at the local hospital - and she told me what the best           TREAT was.

Unfortunately, it turned out I was          ALLERGY to them, so I came out in a red rash all over my body. It was over a week before I had made a complete          RECOVER.
