Meet Germy. Germy is in search for a new home because he was forced to leave his old home. Actually, if the truth be told, he left on his own account, but only after seeing what was happening to his friends.
Germy had been searching so long for the perfect home, that he was starting to get tired. He was about to give up when suddenly, there it was, a nice juicy hamburger! Oh how he loved hamburgers!!
He was so excited he was about to move right in, but he thought he better check his wish list to make sure it really was the perfect place for him. With all of the items checked off on his list, he was ready to move in!
Party Time
Everything was so perfect here at the hamburger patty that Germy decided to invite all of his new friends over for a party. They had such a good time! As time went on, 4 hours later to be exact, there were so many people at the party, that Germy didn't even know everyone.
The party went on and on, until all of a sudden a little boy, who also LOVED hamburgers, came along and picked up the hamburger. As he was about to take a big bite, Super Mom appeared and told him to stop! Jacob, the little boy, was heartbroken! He wanted to eat that nice juicy burger so badly!
Super Mom pulled a warning list out of her pocket to explain why. She explained to Jacob that that hamburger had been sitting out for longer than four hours so it was sure to be full of germs and bacteria, which we know it was. In fact, there was a germ party going on while it was in his hands.
Jacob looked at the hamburger and didn't see anything. Super Mom explained to him that germs and bacteria were microorganisms. That meant that they were so small, you couldn't see them with your bare eyes. She got out a microscope for Jacob to use. Sure enough, there were germs all over the hamburger!
Disappointed, Jacob threw the hamburger into the garbage. As he did, Super Mom told him she had great news, because Dad was cooking up some nice fresh burgers right now. These burgers were cooked to 155 degrees F. to make sure that any germs or bacteria would be killed. As Germy watched from the garbage can, he thought back to his friends who had succumbed to the same fate, just one day earlier. He was happy he had found the perfect place to live.
