Death

Joe had a sick friend in the county that winter and went to visit the boy while he was confined. The family of the sick boy did not tell Joe that his friend had the measles, thinking it would be humorous if Joe unwittingly caught the measles. The two boys spent the afternoon visiting in the close, hot bedroom, and later Joe did indeed develop the measles. But it was not humorous after all as Joe died of the measles!
