The Railway Station in the Belly imagines a group of elves who help digest food. If they eat too much and too fast, the elves will demonstrate and strike, and their stomachs will be in a mess. Let children understand their digestive system in a way that children can understand and be interested in. Tell them to eat slowly and not to overeat.

The little girl's name is Julia. She just came out of kindergarten and is on her way home. Suddenly, Julia heard a grunt.

This sound is coming from her belly!

Julia didn't know there was a train station in her belly! Belly elves live here, and their job is to make food into mud. At the moment, the elves are lying lazily because everyone has nothing to do. The train stopped there, too, and the whole station was silent.

Suddenly, the strange voice rang again. It turns out that the last elf fell asleep. He occasionally snores loudly in his dreams, which is what Julia heard.

Julia finally got home, and a delicious lunch was set on the table. She began to wolf down her food. Soon, a mass of noodles fell into the railway station through the esophagus. The elves woke up at once, climbed out of the cave and got ready to start work. They are all very hardworking little guys.

But this time, they were shocked! Thick and long noodles fell and entangled them; The whole lettuce leaves floated down and wrapped like sheets; Large pieces of meat were heavy and rolled around like stones ... The railway station was in chaos and the elves shouted angrily.

"This Julia didn't chew well at all!" "Everything depends on us forever!" "These foods are too big. What should we do? " In spite of their anger, the elves began to work. What else can I do?

The train must start on time, but it takes a lot of time and energy to break up such a large pile of food, so the work is slow. More and more food is piling up.

At this time, something happened! A big thing hit an elf squarely on the head, and he fainted at once. In the illusion, he became a tour guide, showing tourists around the belly railway station. The elf told the tourists, "If all the food is chewed up, small pieces of noodles, small leaves, small apples and diced meat will fall off, even if they fall on an elf's head, they will not hurt him."

"We will quickly put food into the train compartment and add a lot of liquid in it, which is very important for digestion. Finally, we will mix liquid and food and turn them into mud. This process is particularly interesting for us! "

"Everything is ready, the train can start! The elf driver will jump on the motorcycle and wait excitedly for the doorman to open the gate. This door is the entrance to the small intestine. "

"The small intestine is a long, narrow and very dark tunnel with many bends. There are many pipes on the wall of the tunnel, which will reach into the carriage, absorb nutrients from the soil inside and then transport nutrients into the blood.

Then the train will go on with useless things in the carriage, cross the large intestine tunnel and finally reach the end. The driver will take out the things in the car through a small door, and these things will fall into a white container. People call this container' toilet'! "

"ah! What's wrong with you? " A voice woke the elf in a coma. Several companions are looking at him anxiously. Now that the food storm has stopped, a huge food mountain has piled up beside the track. The station is empty, only the last train is left, and the other trains are loaded with dirt and set off. Without so many trains, how can this grain mountain be transported away?

While the elves were worrying, a biting cold wind suddenly struck. Then, a pile of sticky things came out of the esophagus. They are vanilla ice cream and chocolate milkshake!

"It's too much! We've had enough! " The elves protested loudly in the snow and ice. The temperature in the railway station is getting colder and colder, and the last train is frozen on the track.

The elves began to protest. They shouted slogans and slammed the wall and stamped their feet angrily. It's terrible for Julia. Her stomach is starting to hurt!

Julia is ill because she eats too much and too fast.

Finally, when the elves were about to freeze, the ice and snow began to melt. A warm rain fell from the sky.

It turned out that Julia was lying in bed drinking hot water with a hot water bottle on her stomach.

After a long time, the train returned to the belly railway station and had been unloaded. The elves put the leftover food into the carriage and the mountain slowly disappeared. The elves can have a good rest, play and sleep again now.

Julia feels much better. Her stomach no longer hurts. She did a lot of somersaults happily. The elves in the railway station feel like they are on a roller coaster ... they can't tell which one gets on and which one gets off.
