Did You Know? (āĻ•িāĻŦা āϜাāύাāύে?)

Drinking plenty of water is the best way to stay healthy! Unlike sugary drinks or sodas that can harm your liver and make you gain unhealthy weight, water helps flush out toxins and keeps your energy high all day long.

Chapter Summary / Overview (āĻŽূāϞ āĻ­াā§ą)

"A Lesson Learnt" is an educational story about a young girl named Juri. Juri is very excited because her maternal uncle is visiting her. However, on that morning, instead of eating healthy bread, butter, and fresh fruits provided by her mother, she stubbornly insists on eating a chicken burger and French fries. Because she had been eating junk food consecutively for three days, she suffers a severe stomach ache right when her uncle arrives.

Her uncle and mother rush her to the hospital where the doctor advises her to rest and eat boiled food. Later, her uncle shares a list of healthy habits with her, emphasizing the importance of drinking plenty of water, getting good sleep, exercising regularly, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, washing hands properly, and avoiding junk food. Juri learns her lesson and promises to follow these healthy habits from that moment onwards.
