Alex  and his hands

Once again, Tanya had neglected the green vegetables in her plate. Her mother asked her again and again to eat them but she did not listen. Instead, she only ate what she wanted and ran away after dinner. Her father asked her to slow down or she may hurt herself but she did not listen.Tanya did not care enough for her body so her body decided to teach her a lesson.Tanya’s hand said, “I am your hand. I help you hold onto things. You have opposable thumbs which give you a better grip. Without me, you won’t be able to do your daily tasks so easily.”Her feet said, “I help you stand, your toes give you grip to the ground so that you can move around easily.”Her eyes said, “I help you see the world. Without me you would not be able to see anything around you.” Her ears said, “I help you listen to sounds and your brain identifies those sounds.”Her nose said, “ You use me so often to smell your food. I help you tell if it is edible or not.” Her mouth followed by saying, “I help you speak and express your thoughts. You can laugh or ask for health using me. You also eat your food through me.”Her heart also explained its task and said, “I pump blood in your body Tanya. Without me you would not have blood.” Lastly her brain said, “I help you understand things and make decisions. Every part of your body has different tasks that it has to fulfill so that you can live your life the way you want to. We help you so much but we are also very fragile. We need you to protect us and take care of us so that we can keep doing our duties. Can you do that Tanya?”Hearing all these, Tanya thought to herself, “If my body can do so much for me, I can at least be responsible about what I eat and take care of all the body parts and organs.”She smiled at her body and since that day she ate healthily and exercised to keep her organs in good shape. Moral:Staying healthy not only gives us a long life but also a happy life.
