Once upon a time, there was a kingdom of bacteria that lived in the foods. They were happy and peaceful, until one day, a new enemy invaded their land. It was the refrigerator, a cold and dark place that made them slow and weak. The bacteria feared for their survival, and decided to fight back.
They learned that they could transmit from one food to another by hitching a ride on the hands of humans, who often touched different foods without washing their hands. They also discovered that they could multiply faster in warm and moist environments, such as cooked foods left at room temperature for too long. They devised a plan to spread their colonies to as many foods as possible, and avoid the refrigerator at all costs.
They waited for the right moment, when the humans were busy or distracted, and then jumped onto their hands. They clung to their fingers and nails, hoping to be transferred to another food. Sometimes they succeeded, and found a new home where they could grow and thrive. Other times they failed, and were washed away by soap and water, or killed by heat or acid.
The bacteria’s plan worked well for a while, and they managed to infect many foods in the kitchen. They caused spoilage, bad smells, and sometimes even diseases. The humans became sick and unhappy, and wondered what was wrong with their food. They tried to find the source of the problem, but they could not see the bacteria with their naked eyes.
One day, a human came up with a solution. He bought a device called a microscope, which could magnify tiny things and make them visible. He used it to examine his food, and was shocked by what he saw. He saw millions of bacteria crawling and squirming on his food, making it unsafe to eat. He realized that he had been feeding them unknowingly, and that he had to stop them.
He decided to take action. He threw away all the spoiled food, and cleaned his kitchen thoroughly. He washed his hands before and after handling food, and used separate utensils for raw and cooked foods. He cooked his food well, and refrigerated his leftovers promptly. He also taught his family and friends how to do the same.
The bacteria’s plan was foiled.
They could no longer transmit from one food to another easily, and they faced
many obstacles that hindered their growth. They became fewer and weaker, and
soon they were no longer a threat. The humans reclaimed their food, and enjoyed
it without fear.
The end.
