Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Billy. Billy had a very common disease called Wheezing. He would wheeze whenever he got a trigger like dust or pollen. His doctor told him to always carry an inhaler with him to avoid the symptoms.

One day, while on a walk, Billy found himself lost in a dense mist. He started to wheeze and reached for his inhaler, but it was gone! He searched and searched but couldn't find it anywhere. Suddenly, he heard a voice from the mist, "Don't worry, I can help you with your wheezing." The voice belonged to a magical creature who could cause and cure any disease with a wave of its hand.

The creature waved its hand and Billy's wheezing disappeared! But then, the creature added, "Now, every time you sneeze, you'll lay an egg!" Billy was shocked. He asked, "How do I avoid this symptom?" The creature replied, "Just avoid triggers like dust and pollen, and you'll be fine."

From that day on, Billy was careful to avoid triggers and always carried his inhaler with him. And whenever someone asked him how he was feeling, he'd proudly reply, "I'm egg-cellent!"

The end.
