Eme was a little girl who loved to play outside. She ran in the mud, climbed trees, and splashed in puddles. But Eme didn’t like to take baths or brush her teeth.
One day, Eme went to school with messy hair and dirty hands. Her friends didn’t want to sit near her.
"Why doesn’t anyone play with me?" Eme asked her teacher.
Her teacher smiled and said, Eme grooming is important. When we stay clean, we feel good and others feel happy around us too."
That night, Eme took a bath, washed her hair, and brushed her teeth. She even cut her nails with her mom’s help.
The next day at school, Eme looked neat and fresh. Her friends smiled and played with her again.
From then on, Eme made grooming a daily habit. SHe learned that being clean is a simple way to show care for yourself and others.

This is a sweet freewrite. At least Eme asks for the reason unlike many others. If it comes to her friends, they aren't friends if they don't play with her if she's dirty, they could have tell her or helped her.
I wonder how clean the parents are if she lives this way.

Welcome to CCC and a great, creative week.

Thank you
