Microbug Tug is small. He's smaller than a peanut. He's even smaller
than a crumb!
MicroBug Tug wants to go on a vacation, and he's visiting the human
body. The problem is, he doesn't know his way around too well, and
he gets lost very easily.
Can you help him figure out where he is?
Tug is in a deep cave. He's surrounded by two rows of white stumps,
one row on top and one row on bottom. It looks like there's some
food caught between two of them. Do you know where he is?
He's in the Mouth!
Well, that's not where he wants to be--he might get eaten! He moves
on and now he's crawled inside a funny looking shape. Every sound is
louder inside. He can hear an echo as the sound bounces around and
hits a "drum." Do you know where he is?
He's in the ear!
Tug can't enjoy his vacation with all that racket. He climbs up
further until he's surrounded by tall stalks everywhere. There are
thousands of them all next to each other and when a wind comes, they
get blown all around. Do you know where he is?
He's in the hair!
Tug sees something coming towards the hair and hops on when it gets
there. Now there are five things he's never seen before next to him.
Four of them are longer, and one of them is shorter. Each of them
has a hard plate on the tip of it. Sometimes they point, sometimes
they wiggle, and sometimes they get together and snap! Do you know
where Tug is?
He's on the hand!
Gosh, there's way too much excitement on the hand, so Tug hops off
when the hand starts scratching another part of the body. Now he's
looking into two tunnels and air is coming in and out of each of
them. Tug notices that he's close to the mouth again. It looks like
there are some short hairs inside, but he doesn't want to get any
closer. Do you know where he is now?
He's in the nose!
All of a sudden there is a SNEEZE! Tug is thrown in the air until he
falls into a bowl shaped hole. He crawls to the top, but there's
nothing close by. It's like he's in the middle of nowhere, or maybe
it's the middle of the human body? Do you know where he is?
He's in the belly button!
Wow, you really know the human body! Tug would be lost without you,
but he has had it with this vacation. The human body is not for him,
so he grabs his bag and hops off.
Thanks for helping!
