I de use my leg run, jump, and to kick.

I de use my hand eat, work and to hug.

But head dey more important pass my leg and hand.

Head get eyes.

I de use my eyes see.

Head get nose.

I de use my nose smell.

Head get ears.

I de use my ears hear.

Head get tongue.

I de use am taste tins wey get salt or wey sweet.

Head get mouth.

I de use my mouth talk.

Head de control di whole body!
