We need fruits to complete our diet and to keep us healthy

1

My mother and I usually get our fruits from the market on market day.

2

I love helping my mother to choose the fruits we will buy for our home.

3

When we get back home, my siblings and I clean then arrange our fruits on a basket on the dining table.

4

One day I ate too much. I ate half a pineapple, 6 bananas, 4 oranges, 3 apples and 10 guavas.

5

My tummy started rumbling and I got sick. It hurt so much, I started cying from the pain.

6

I went and told mother what had happened and she was surprised. She told me everything will be fine and she got me some medicine.

7

Fruits are healthy for you but too much of everything is bad. Your body only needs enough nutrients to be strong and healthy.
