The Stomach and the Feet

In a big body, the feet and stomach talk. The feet feel very strong. Every day they walk, run and carry the body. The stomach only stands quietly and waits for food. The feet get angry and shout at the stomach.

"We always work, but you do nothing," they say. The stomach smiles and says, "I am important too." The feet do not believe it and suddenly stop. They do not want one more step. After a few hours the stomach is very hungry.

The body slowly loses its energy and becomes weak. The feet cannot stand and start to shake. Now the feet know: the stomach is right too. Everyone has a job, and all must work together. Unity always gives strength.
