SAMMI’S TUMMY TROUBLES

Sammi has fallen sick! Her tummy aches. She is crying in pain. Her doctor

tells her that the tummy ache is because of the junk food she ate.
“What is junk food?” asks Sammi.
“Junk food is unhealthy food. Did you eat pizzas, pasta or burgers, or drink coke? All those are junk food.”
“I ate one pizza slice and two burgers yesterday. I also drank three glasses of cold drink,” says Sammi.
“Junk food makes you feel lazy and makes you sick,” tells the doctor.
Sammi asks, “Can I never eat a burger again?”
