After a while, Sam's mom called him inside. She had a surprise visitor for him: his best friend Tim. Sam was excited to play with Tim, but his mom reminded him to wash his hands first. Sam didn't understand why it was so important.

A Surprise Visit

Sam's mom explained that washing hands helps to get rid of germs. Germs can make you sick if they get into your mouth, nose, or eyes. Sam listened carefully and decided to wash his hands. He scrubbed them with soap and water, just like his mom showed him. His hands felt clean and fresh!

The Lesson

With clean hands, Sam and Tim played happily together. They built a fort and pretended to be knights. Sam realized that washing his hands didn't take long at all. From that day on, he always remembered to wash his hands before eating or playing with friends. Clean hands, happy hands, he thought with a smile.
