One day, A class teacher entered a class. She wrote the title of the subject on the chalkboard, “Parts of the Body”. She now turned to the class and said to the Children, you all will tell me the part of your body you like best and some reasons for liking it.” She suddenly looked up and saw Daniela.
“Stand up, Daniela”, the teacher commanded. Daniela stood up reluctantly. She looked so very dirty from head to toe. Her uniform was dirty in several places. There came a loud laughter from the whole pupil in the classroom. The teacher told the class to be quiet.
“I had wanted to teach on the topic "parts of the body before" but now, we are all going to learn on how to care for our body.”
“Johnson, what should you do when you wake up in the morning?” the teacher asked Daniela’s partner in class.
Johnson stood up, looked at Daniela from head to toe. He said, “First of all, get a glass of clean water. Then, brush your teeth with toothbrush and toothpaste. Next, wash your body with a good sponge and soap.”
Bassey helped him further, “You make sure you wash your body thoroughly every morning and evening. Then, you use a clean towel to dry your body and then to rub some cream on your skin to make your skin smooth and shining.”
The teacher was excited and said, “Yes, yes, the two of you are right.
The teacher looked up and starring at everyone in the classroom. Her eyes fell on me. She said, “Tabi, tell us about how you care for your body.”
I stood up and continued from where Bassey stopped. “After washing the body every morning,I keep my hair neat by combing with a comb thoroughly and also keeping it low. I also make sure I keep my finger nails short and neat by cutting them with a sterilized nail cutter. I wash and iron my dirty clothes after school on every weekends. Everyday, before coming to school and after school hours, I clean my school sandals and arrange my books neatly into my school bag.”
“Clap for him, everybody,” The teacher commanded the class pupil. “Yes,” she continued, “I do not have to tell you what you should do before coming to school. You have heard it all from your friends in class. Daniela, as from now, take good care of your body.”
