One Day The Body Decided
To Have A Meeting
There was intense discussion to
determine who was the most important part of the body.
The Brain was the first to
speak. "Without me, nothing would be accomplished." The Heart spoke up,
"Without me pumping blood to your brain, you couldn't function." The Arms
laughed, "You're both wrong; without me to put food in the mouth, nothing would
work."
The Stomach smugly replied,
"Without me, your food would not digest." The Lungs bellowed back, "Without me,
you couldn't breathe." The Eyes blinked, "Without me, you could not see." The
Kidneys snorted, "Without me, you couldn't detoxify and eliminate."
And so it went for most of the
day, everybody trying to prove that they were the most important. Then the Colon
meekly spoke up saying, "I'm important. You need me to eliminate all of the
garbage from your systems." Everyone just laughed and made fun of the colon.
"How can you be as important as we are? You're just a smelly old sewer!"
The poor Colon, his feelings
hurt, turned away and thought, "I'll show them!" And he quickly shut down. Then
he sat back and watched what happened.
The Brain was stupefied;
The Heart's beat was weak and
irregular;
The Arm's were weak and
couldn't move;
The Lung's breathing was
shallow;
The Eyes became clouded;The Kidneys quit!
Then the Colon looked around
and decided it was time to call another meeting. It wasn't so lively this time,
but everyone was in total agreement: THE COLON WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT ORGAN.
