Your Heart

Your heart is one of the most important organs in your entire body. Your heart is a red-brown muscle located in the center of your chest. A normal heart is about six inches long and four inches wide. It weighs about twelve ounces.

The job of your heart is to pump blood throughout your body. This is an enormous job, since there are about sixty thousand miles of blood vessels in every person’s body. Even so, the heart never stops pumping. The only time it rests is half a second between beats.

Many things can harm your heart. Heart diseases do a lot of damage. The likelihood of developing a heart disease is often passed down in a family.

PREDICTING OUTCOMES

It was first day of summer vacation, and Kim and her friends planned to have a picnic lunch at the beach. Before Kim left the house, her mother handed her a bottle of suntan lotion and said, “Be sure to use this. You know how easily you burn, and you haven’t been in the sun for a year.”

When Kim arrived, her friends were already playing volleyball. She dropped her beach bag on the sand and joined the game. An hour later, Kim’s team was declared the winner. After lunch, everyone sat in the hot sun. It wasn’t until three o’clock that Kim remembered her mother’s warning. Her skin felt dry and tight, so she hastily rubbed a little lotion on her arms and face. Then, she went swimming.

THE SHEEP AND THE PIG

One day a shepherd discovered a fat Pig in the meadow where his Sheep were pastured. He very quickly captured the porker, which squealed at the top of its voice the moment the Shepherd laid his hands on it. You would have thought, to hear the loud squealing, that the Pig was being cruelly hurt. But in spite of its squeals and struggles to escape, the Shepherd tucked his prize under his arm and started off to the butcher’s in the market place.

The Sheep in the pasture were much astonished and amused at the Pig’s behavior, and followed the Shepherd and his charge to the pasture gate.

“What makes you squeal like that?” asked one of the Sheep. “The Shepherd often catches and carries off one of us. But we should feel very much ashamed to make such a terrible fuss about it like you do.”

“That is all very well,” replied the Pig, with a squeal and a frantic kick. “When he catches you he is only after your wool. But he wants my bacon! gree-ee-ee!”

It is easy to be brave when there is no danger.
