Not to die

Unhealthy people die at a young age. Tom knew this because he was a biology teacher. He knew what was healthy and what was unhealthy. He always thought he wouldn't die young but would live to an old age. He had good food and clean water. He went hiking every Sunday. He took good care of himself because his grandparents died young. They didn’t have a healthy life. His grandpa ate red meat every day for dinner, which is unhealthy. His grandma ate a cake every day for breakfast, which is also unhealthy.

One day, when Tom was walking to school, he had an accident. A car came very fast, but it stopped when the driver saw Tom. It was cold outside, and the road was icy. Tom fell and hurt his head. He woke up in a hospital bed. 'I don’t want to die,' he cried. 'You won’t die,' the nurse said. 'You have a small bruise on your head, but you will be fine in two days.'
