WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.460 Once upon a time the arms and the legs became angry with the belly. 00:00:04.460 --> 00:00:06.740 ‘It’s not fair. We do all the work 00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:09.780 – walking, lifting, carrying, climbing, making, shaping – 00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:11.140 and the belly does nothing. 00:00:11.140 --> 00:00:12.500 He just sits there. 00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:15.240 And he gets rewarded with all the food and drink. 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.540 And what do we get? Nothing! 00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:19.700 We’re no better than slaves. 00:00:19.700 --> 00:00:22.960 And to make things worse, it’s us who give the belly his nourishment, 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.720 tramping the fields, lifting the food to his mouth. 00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:29.800 And do we get any thanks for our trouble? Not a word. 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.800 It’s time we taught the belly a lesson: let’s go on strike. 00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:35.680 From now on he can look after himself.’ 00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:38.920 And so the arms and the legs left the belly to starve. 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.560 The legs wouldn’t walk out to fetch food. 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.380 The arms wouldn’t lift and carry. 00:00:44.380 --> 00:00:49.040 And after a few days the arms felt themselves growing weaker and weaker. 00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:52.800 The legs trembled and couldn’t stand any longer. 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:56.940 With an empty belly, the body began to fail. 00:00:56.940 --> 00:01:03.320 Too late, they understood that it is the belly that gives them the strength they need.
