Good Little Bugs

My sister can't stand anything that is not clean. She washes her hands a lot. Everything has to be clean, clean, clean!
I'm not like her. I enjoy touching the earth. I love playing in the mud!
When we went for our regular check-ups, the doctor told us, “Everyone has some bugs or bacteria living on
their bodies. They're so small that you can't even see them."
“Is that true?" I asked,"Yes. And no matter how hard you try, you can't get rid of them," said the doctor.
The doctor explained, “Some types of bacteria can make you sick. But other types are good, like the ones in cheese, yogurt and bread. They make these foods taste good! Bacteria are even used to make chocolate bars!"
My sister was not happy to hear this. “Yuck!”she said. I don't think she'll be joining me in the mud any time soon!
