WHO IS MORE INDISPENSABLE?
This was the topic of discussion among all the different parts of a human body one fine day. No one knew the right answer and so they all started arguing among themselves.
The hands asked, “How will the body eat food without our help?”
The legs demanded to know, “How can the body move from to place without our assistance?
“We swallow the food and help in the digestion!” said the mouth, the teeth and the tongue.
“How will the body digest the food and assimilate it with our assistance?” demanded the stomach and the intestines.
The eye, the nose, the ear and each and every part of the body glorified itself as the most indispensable part of the human body.
When no decision could be arrived at, all the parts went on an indefinite lightning strike.
Soon the whole body became very weak; the eyes became dull; the ears could not hear anymore as if they were stuffed with cotton; the voice won’t rise; the brain became dizzy.
Suddenly the truth dawned on all of them. None of them was more important or less important in maintaining the fitness of the body!
They all were equally important for the body’s good health. Only when each and everyone of them functioned properly, the body will remain in good shape.
The indefinite strike was immediately called off! All the parts were happy to return to their original functions. The body became strong and active as before.
