One day, the parts of the body held an angry meeting. 有一天，身体的各个部位气冲冲地开了个会。

"We do all the work," said the hands. “活儿全是我们干的，”双手说。

"We walk for miles," said the feet. “路全是我们走的，”双脚说。

"I chew every single bite," said the mouth. “每一口饭都是我嚼的，”嘴巴说。

"And who gets all the food? “可所有的食物最后都归了谁？

The stomach. 归胃了。

It just sits there, doing nothing." 它就干坐在那儿，啥活也不干。”

So they went on strike. 于是，它们决定罢工。

The hands refused to pick up food. 手不肯拿食物了。

The mouth refused to open. 嘴巴不肯张开。

The teeth refused to chew. 牙齿也不肯嚼了。

"Let's see how the stomach likes that," they said. 它们说：“看胃这下怎么受得了。”

A day passed, then two, then three. 一天过去了，接着是两天，三天。

But something strange happened. 但奇怪的事情发生了。

The hands began to shake. 双手开始发抖。

The feet could hardly stand. 双脚几乎站不稳了。

The mouth was dry. 嘴巴干得要命。

Slowly, they understood. 慢慢地，它们明白过来了。

The stomach had been working for them all along, 胃其实一直都在默默为它们工作，

quietly turning food into strength for everyone. 悄悄把食物转化成大家需要的力气。

A team only works when every part does its job, 一个团队，只有每个成员各司其职才能运转，

including the parts you never notice. 哪怕是那些你平时根本注意不到的部分。
