There are a lot of bones in hands and feet. P

3-1-3 Magpie's Ruling I
There once was a sparrow flying over the woods, and it caught a fly. P
The fly tried its best to fly away, but it wasn't fast enough. P
The angry fly said to the sparrow, P
"Hey, Sparrow! Why are you bullying me, when I haven't done anything to hurt you?" P
The sparrow replied angrily, "What? P
Are you actually saying that you haven't done anything wrong? P
You fly here and there, spreading all kinds of dirt and disease every time you sit on people's food, don't you? P
And that's not all that you do. P
You wake people up by crawling on their faces and buzzing around their ears. P
Do you still claim that you haven't done anything wrong?" P
3-1-4 Magpie's Ruling II
The fly did not want to take the sparrow's accusations lying down, and replied, P
"Hmph! And do you think you're perfect? P
You steal the rice kernels before the harvest and ruin everything the people have worked so hard for! P
You catch and eat innocent insects all day long. P
I don't think that you have the right to accuse me of anything!" P
Both of them quarreled on and on, and finally decided to ask the magpie to decide who was right. P
After hearing both sides of the story, the magpie made his decision. P
The magpie decided that the sparrow should have his legs beaten for stealing. P
And the fly was ordered to wash his hands thoroughly as often as possible. P
This is why the sparrow is always running away from everyone, P
and the fly is always washing his hands. P

3-1-11 Eyes
Eyes are organs in the body that let people or animals see. P
The eyeballs are called sense organs because seeing is a sense. P
The eye has a lens in the front that helps someone focus to see. P
In the back of the eye, there are cells that sense light. P
This is called the retina. P
The retina can sense color light and white light to help people see. P
Some people are colorblind. P
This means they can not see color. P
They do not have enough cells in the retina to see color. P
The iris is the colored part of the eye. P
People's irises have different colors. P
3-1-12 Ear
The ear is a body part that lets people or animals hear sound. P
The ear captures sounds and turns it into signals so that the brain can know what is being said. P
Every sound heard is made up of sound waves. P
Sound waves are in the air but cannot be seen. P
Sound waves travel into the ear through a canal. P
The waves make the eardrum vibrate. P
Louder sounds make bigger vibrations. P
And high-pitched sounds make fast vibrations. P
Ears also help the brain balance the body. P
There is liquid inside the ear that tells the brain if the body is upside down. P
Earwax protects the ear. P
It prevents dirt and water from going inside the ear. P
3-1-13 Tongue
The tongue is an organ in the mouth. P
It gives the body the sense of taste. P
There are bumps on the tongue. P
These are called taste buds and they are sensitive to different tastes. P
We can detect four main tastes: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. P
The nose and tongue work as a team to give the mouth the complete taste of food. P
The tongue stays wet from the saliva in the mouth. P
Saliva also helps the mouth breakdown food. P
There are many nerves and blood vessels in the tongue. P
The tongue helps the mouth stay clean and it also helps people speak. P
3-1-14 Breathing
The body needs oxygen or air to survive. P
The breathing system in the body takes in oxygen from the air. P
The respiratory system helps the breathing system work. P
The breathing system uses the mouth, nose, throat, and lungs. P
We breathe air into our bodies by using our nose and our mouth. P
It then goes into the lungs by a windpipe. P
From the lungs, air or oxygen is transported into the bloodstream. P
Lungs are like bags that help absorb oxygen. P
Breathing is something the body does without thinking. P
Smoking is not good for the lungs. P
When people smoke they breathe less oxygen. P
This can hurt the lungs and make them sick. P
