The Heart And The Hand
“C’mon, Brain, you got this!” Encouraged Heart. She was cheerful a lot-but could also be sad, angry, happy, and so much more.
“I’m working as fast as I can, and-Ow!” Brain had stopped mid-sentence, for Hand was starting to hurt.
“I’m sorry, but all of this writing is far too much work!” Complained Hand, “Plus, if Brain could do this math in its head there wouldn’t need to be any writing.”
“Now!” Said Heart angrily, “It’s not Brain’s fault it can’t do this math in its head. This is the most complicated problem I think we’ve ever gotten, and I don’t want any Outer-body complaining.”
“How dare you offend us, we do much more work than you ever could ma-“ Hand started going on, but Brain cut it off.
“Listen, we all do a part here. Heart gives us feelings, Hand does the writing, and I tell you all that we need to stick together or everything will fall apart!” Heart and Hand stayed silent, while everyone else just listened to the thoughtful silence.
“I-I suppose you’re right. I’m sorry, Hand.” Said Heart apologetically.
“Me too, my friend, me too.” And from that moment on, both the Hand and the Heart and the Brain (and everyone from the Eyes to the Toes, Outter-body and Inner) respected each other until the day that they worked no longer.
