One beautiful day Pepe
was walking home from school.
He lived in a loving home with his
hard working Puerto Rican family.

Hola Abuelo!

Hola, Pepito!

Cough, cough

I'm sorry, Pepe
I will go to the
other room.

Oh, Gata...How I wish Abuelo would
quit smoking. It is so bad for him,
and I always start to cough. It is hard
for me to be around him.

Cough, cough. Gata, I think I should
put you down.

Ok, Gata, I'm going
outside to play.

Meow

Awwchooo!

Dude, you spit on me!
Why do you always
sneeze when we are
outside?

Jose! Don't be mean!
Bless you, Pepe!

I don't know what's wrong. I
think these flowers are making
me sneeze. Let's go play
basketball.

Pass it here..
Pass me the ball!

Ok, I'm wide open!

Run and I'll throw
it to you

Throw it here!

Over here!

Hold on, I can't catch my breath!
I feel like a fish out of water.

Mr. John, Mr. John!
I think Pepe is sick.

I will call your
Dad, Pepe.

Hello. I am the Nurse,
Practitioner. I know
you are both scared.
Let's try and figure out
what is going on.

You say you are having trouble breathing
when you are around smoke, cats, or flowers?
And also when you run around a lot. Is that right?

Yeah.
That's right.

Pepe, let me listen to your lungs.
Then we can do a quick test to
see how well your lungs are
working.

I'm scared!
Will it hurt?

No. It will not hurt. First, breathe
all of the air out of your lungs.
Next, inhale as much air as you can,
then blow it back out and into
this mouthpiece to get a score.
That is all you have to do! Easy-breezy.
