After eating too much candy and staying up too late, Felix wakes up feeling, as his mama says, "peaky." When home remedies don't seem to help, she takes him to Doctor Duck. Felix is afraid that he will have to face Doctor Duck without his mama, and is relieved when the doctor lets his mama stay for the entire examination. Doctor Duck gives Felix Happy Tummy medicine, and the next day, he is his old self again, full of energy. This story reassures children that treatment for minor illnesses isn't scary, and the illness won't last long.
