Tofu’s Lesson: The Impact of Junk Food
One day, Tofu wasn’t feeling well. His stomach hurt, and he felt sick. Concerned, his friend Tia asked what was wrong.
“Oh, Tofu! I told you not to eat all that junk food,” Tia sighed. “You’ve been eating unhealthy food for so many days!”
Tofu felt guilty but was confused. “Tia, but how did I get sick because of food?” he asked.
Tia explained, “You haven’t been eating nutritious food, and you haven’t been playing outside either. Good food and exercise are so important for your body. Remember—what you eat is what you become.”

A Story of Two Brothers: Choosing Between Junk and Health
Once upon a time, there were two brothers, Joe and Jack. They loved eating junk food and refused to eat the healthy meals their mother prepared.
One day, their mother warned them, “Unhealthy food can harm your body. Joe, you won’t be able to play football well, and Jack, you won’t be a good runner if you keep eating this way.”
Jack thought for a moment and decided to make a change. “I want to become a great runner, so I will eat healthy food!” he declared.
As time passed, Jack grew stronger, faster, and healthier, while Joe struggled. One day, Joe’s football coach had to make a tough decision.
“I’m sorry, Joe. You’re not able to play like the others. You can try next time,” the coach said.
Meanwhile, Jack had improved so much that his coach cheered for him. “Jack, you’ve become an excellent runner! I’m sure you’ll win all the medals this time.”
Joe finally realized his mistake and regretted his unhealthy choices.
A Wake-Up Call for Tofu
Hearing this story, Tofu decided to change his habits. “Tia, from today, I will eat healthy food. I want to be like Jack!” he promised.
Tia smiled. “Yes, Tofu! Eat healthy food and exercise, and you will see a big difference in your health.”
