I found a wallet today. I opened the wallet to see what was inside. There was about 800 yuan in it. A middle school student couldn't have so much money. So the wallet might be an adult's. The wallet is red. Women usually like red，so maybe the wallet belonged to a woman. Was there an ID card in it？No，there wasn't. So I couldn't find out exactly who the owner was. I put up a Lost and Found notice. On the notice，I wrote down my telephone number and asked the owner of the wallet to call me when she saw it.

今天早上，大家发现Daming两眼通红，于是大家纷纷猜测发生了什么事情。有的同学认为他昨天晚上一直在上网玩游戏，有的认为他昨晚做作业做到很晚，也有的认为…… 而真正的原因是他感冒了。请以“What Happened to Daming？”为题，写一篇短文。
要求：
1．词数：80左右；
2．意思表达连贯、正确，可适当发挥合理的想象。
What Happened to Daming
This morning, we found that Daming's eyes were red. What happened to him We guessed.
Some of the boys thought that he must have played computer games all night, because he always spent a long time doing that. But some girls didn't agree. They believed that he must have done his homework very late. Others thought that he was watching TV the whole night, because there was an NBA game last night. But I didn't agree with them. His parents were very strict with him, so he couldn't have played games or watched TV for all night.
Then, we asked him during the break, and he said he caught a bad cold. Poor Daming!
