Jane playing in a sandbox with dirty hands, tiny Germy and a long purple germ dancing on her fingers
Jane played in the sandbox, digging holes and making castles. Her hands got very dirty as she scooped up the sand. What Jane couldn't see was tiny Germy and his purple friend Gorm dancing on her fingers. They giggled as they multiplied, having a party on Jane's hands.
JJ, a 30yo woman, looking at Jane's dirty hands with a concerned expression. Jane looking at her hands with wide eyes.
"Time for lunch," called JJ, Jane's father. He looked at Jane's hands and shook his head. "Those hands are full of germs that can make you sick," JJ explained. Jane looked at her hands with wide eyes. "But I can't see any germs, Baba!" she said.
JJ smiling, holding a soap bottle near a bathroom sink. Germy and a long purple germ trembling on Jane's thumb.
JJ led Jane to the bathroom sink. "We need soap and water to defeat the germs," he said with a smile. Germy and his purple friend trembled as they saw the soap bottle. "Oh no, not the magic bubbles!" Germy squeaked, trying to hold tight to Jane's thumb.
Jane rubbing her soapy hands together, Germy and a long purple germ sliding off her fingers towards the drain. JJ looking proud.
Jane rubbed her soapy hands together, counting to twenty like JJ taught her. Germy and his friends slid off her fingers, swirling down the drain. "We did it!" Jane cheered, looking at her clean hands. "The magic of washing hands keeps the germs away," JJ said proudly.
