Once upon a time...there was a small little bug named Germy. Germy was so small it took a magnifying glass to see him. Germy was very friendly and loved to share!

One day, Germy noticed all of his friends were having a picnic. This made Germy very sad.

You see, Germy wasn't invited because

Germy didn't wash his hands and this

made all of his friends afraid they

might get sick.

Germy was so sad. He enjoyed being around his friends, going to ball games, playing at the arcade, and going to the movies! But, everyone was afraid of being around Germy.

Why am I all alone?

Finally, one day Mr. Aunt stopped by Germy's house to talk. He wanted his friend to understand why everyone was staying away.

"Germy, we all want you to know we love being your friend. We want to play with you but,

you don't wash your hands.", explained Mr. aunt

Germy then remembered what his mom taught him about spreading all his germs and how harmful it could be to others.

Germy knew right then what he should do!

HE WASHED HIS HANDS and ran to tell ALL his friends about his new decision to be GERM FREE!

I know what I must do!

Germy and all of his friends were so happy they could play together again!

Washing your hands is fun!

The best way to be able to play with your friends and not get sick is to always remember to wash your hands! Especially if you are sick or have been around someone who is!

Germ free is the way to be!
