WHO'S IN CHARGE?
Lesson VII.

One day, the different parts of the body were having an argument to see which
should be in charge The brain said, “I do all the thinking, so I'm the most important
and I should be in charge.”
The eyes said, "I see everything and let the rest of you know where we are, so I'm the
most important and I should be in charge.!”
The hands said, “Without me we wouldn't be able to pick anything up or move
anything. So, l'm the most important and I should be in charge.”
The stomach said, “I turn the food we eat into energy for the rest of you. Without me,
we’d starve. So, I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”
The legs said, “Without me we wouldn’t be able to move anywhere. So, I'm the most
important and I should be in charge.”
Then the rectum said, “I think I should be in charge.” All the rest of the parts said,
“You?! You don't do anything! You’re not important! You can't be in charge.”
So, the rectum closed up. After a few days, the legs were all wobbly, the stomach
was all queasy, the hands were all shaky, the eyes were all watery, and the brain was all
cloudy.
They all agreed that they couldn't take any more of this and agreed to put the
rectum in charge.
