FRUITS

By: NURUL AIN NADHIRAH BINTI KAMARULAZAMAN

James is five years old. He loves
to eat and play. He eats three
times a day. But, he only eats
junk food. That is why he is fat.

He refused to eat fruits. “I
hate fruits. It has a weird
shape and colour. It taste
bad.’’ said James.

Every evening, he would play with
his friend.
“Hey, James. Catch this ball.’’
said Ali.

James ran to catch the ball but he
gets tired.
“My body is too big to run. I am
tired.’’ said James.

Ali said, “I think you should stop
eating junk food. It will make you
sick and tired easily. You should
eat healthy food like fruits.’’

“No! Junk food is tasty and it
will never make me sick.’’
said James angrily.

The next day, James fell sick. He
could not walk and get off of his
bed. He is having a fever. He also
has a stomach ache.

“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
My stomach is hurt!’’ said James.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
My head is hurt!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
I could not get off from bed!

Mummy took him to the doctor.
The doctor said, “You have
obesity. You’re too fat. That is
why you fall sick. You should stop
eating junk food. It is not healthy
for you.’’

James was sad.
“What food can make me healthy
doctor?” ask James.
“Fruits can make you healthy.”
“No! I hate fruits!’’ James
screamed.

Mummy offer James an apple.

Eat apple.
Eat, eat, eat.
It will never make you sick.

James turns down his mum’s
offer.

Mummy brings an orange.

Eat orange.
Eat, eat, eat.
It will never make you sick.

Once again, James turns down his
mum’s offer.

Mummy brings a mango.

Eat mango.
Eat, eat, eat.
It will never make you sick.

Again, James turns down his
mum’s offer.

Mummy brings some grapes.

Eat grapes.
Eat, eat, eat.
It will never make you sick.

“No mummy.” said James.

A few days have passed, he still
did not recover.
He still lay on his bed. He stared
at the window watching his friends
playing outside.

One day, he dreamed he met a
little fairy. “Hello little boy, why
do you look gloomy?”

“I want to play but I am sick.
I wish I can play with my
friend.” said James

‘’Look at this magic mirror. I can
make your wish come true.
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!” said the
little fairy

James looks at the magic mirror.
He saw himself eating fruits
happily. In that mirror, he does
not look fat and can play with his
friends.

“Wow! I did not look fat and sick
anymore. I can play with my
friend.” said James.
 “Fairy please grand my wish. I
want to be like this.”

“Sure.” said the fairy.
“But you must eat fruits every
day. It is good for your health."
“I promise I will eat fruits.” said
James

From that day, James never skips
eating fruits. He becomes healthier
and happier.
He also did not get tired to run
around in the playground.

Every day, he will eat an apple, an
orange, mango and grape.
“I will never eat junk food again.”
said James.

Moral of the story:
Eat healthily and say no to junk
food.
