Wash your hands Story

Today we will talk about Mariquita and his brother Peter.

Mariquita and his brother Peter went on a trip to Bolivia, where they enjoyed the rivers and discovered all about water.

They have already come back home.

Do you want me to tell you about their adventures?

Mariquita and Peter came home and began to play, then Peter said, "The first to arrive at the front door will be the king of the World" and started running

Mariquita ran after him saying:

• "I will be the Queen of the world because I will win you".

Peter was winning but he stopped playing because there was a dog at the door of his house.

Mariquita and Peter stood still while a toddler was screaming Baluuuu, baluuu time for lunch!.

Some minutes later Mariquita and Peter’s parents came back home and asked the child:

• Is this your dog?

Yes, the child replied, and he asked.

• Do you live here?

Yes, replied Peter, licking his face while everyone was laughing.

Mariquita asked:

• What's your name?

• I am Jorgito.

As the children were very happy, they invited to Jorgito to eat cakes that they had brought from Bolivia.

While they were preparing the table, Mariquita and Peter’s dad told the kids to go to wash their hands. The two brothers got up and quickly they went to the bathroom. Jorgito looked at his hands and said "I do not think I need to wash my hands because they are clean"

Then Peter said, "no Jorgito my sister taught me that you have to wash your hands when you come from the street because the germs are cheaters and very small, so you can not  see them because they are hidden, they hide  in our hands and we can get ill.

It is also important to wash our hands after playing with animals because the germns hide in their hair, said Peter while he was washing Jorgito’s hands.

When Jorgito got wet hands and washed them with soap, the water was brown yaaaaaaaaaaak!

Jorgito said very surprised: Wow, I really had very dirty hands!

Then Mariquita said, imagine all the germs you had, if you get ill you can not play or go to school.

Now that we have clean hands we can all go to eat cakes. Great!

 And they all ran.

After eating they started talking and discovered that Jorgito was going to the same school as Mariquita and Peter. That afternoon they went together to prepare the backpack for school.

Next morning the three children went to school.

Peter showed Jorgito the playgrounds, the classrooms, the music room and especially the bathrooms which were very clean.

Jorgito was looking at the school, discovering each place. Jorgito was so glad that he told Peter:

·         It’s very nice to have water to wash our hands before eating our tea!

Together they went to class, while they were singing:

Wash your hands with soap and water

Wash your hands before eating

Drink clean water when you are thirsty

And clean and healthy you will live better.
