English
I use my feet to run, jump, and kick.
I use my hands to eat, work, and hug.
But the head is more important than feet or hands.
The head has the eyes.

I see with my eyes.
The head has the nose.

I smell with my nose.
The head has the ears.

I hear with my ears.
The head has the tongue.

I taste salty and sweet.
The head has the mouth.

I speak with my mouth.
The head controls the whole body!
