We have

one nose

two eyes

two ears.

All working

together.

Staying alert

checking

for danger.

The nose can smell

but cannot see.

The eyes can see

but cannot hear.

The ears can hear

but cannot smell.

They work together,

helping each other.

Always alerting

everyone of danger.

One day there

were questions.

Who was biggest?

Who was important?

Who was the best?

The nose said,

“ I can smell danger,

because of that,

I am biggest. ”

The eyes said,

“ We can see danger,

because of that

we are important. ”

The ears said,

“ We can hear danger,

because of that,

we are best. ”

They kept saying

the same thing

over and over,

they stopped

being alert.

The more

they talked

the louder

they got,

everyone

yelling,

no one

paying

attention.

The mind

heard the

screaming,

and

went down

to check out

the loud noise.

Not saying a word,

and standing

there quietly,

watching

and

waiting,

everyone

became

silent.

The mind quietly asked,

“Who is the biggest?

Who is important?

Who is the best?”

They all raised

their hands.

Waving them

all about,

as fast as

they could.

The mind smiled

and said,

“ Look around.”

“ Everyone

is raising

their hands. ”

“Everyone is

biggest,

important

and best

together."

“ When you

fight,

danger wins. "

“ Everyone

needs to

remember

the rule. ”

“I help the others,

they help me,

that is the way

I want it to be.”

“If I come down

here again,

I will show

R E A L

Y E L L I N G.”

The mind smiled

and left.

Everyone went

back to work.

They made

a firm

promise.

“We will work

together.

We will do our

best and keep

everyone safe

from danger.”
