SMILING
Smiling is also god for your health.
Smiling may have begun millions of years ago.
Humans start smiling very early in life.
Babies usually start smiling when they are very young.
Humans are the only creatures that can actually smile.
Dogs and horses can be trained to show their teeth at certain times but it is not smiling.
Some parts of your face relax when you smile but other parts work hard.
If you keep smiling for too long some of these muscles start to tremble under the strain.

SHOES
Did you know that a human foot has more bones than any other part of the body?
Everytime you wiggle your foot, you're moving 28 bones, 19 muscles and 107 ligaments. whew!
When you were born your foot had no fully formed boens at all.
Now that you're 8 or older, you'll have a full count of 28 bones.
Most people find that the soles of their foot are much more sensitive when touched than the top of your foot. Tickle! Ha Ha
In ancient times, people made shoes from whatever was handy such as large leaves and bark.
Egypt is a hot part of Africa
Egyptions loved there thongs for the reason we do today.
