Bani and Soap-Bubble City

Bani returned from the garden with dirt on his paws and was already reaching for a cookie when a squeak came from the sink. A little Bubble, the envoy of the City of Soap Towers, was trembling there. The city became dim because sticky Microbeads settled on doors, toys and paws. They are almost impossible to see, but Bubble gave Bani the magic glass. Below him, inconspicuous spots turned into a whole noisy crowd.

“Not all germs are harmful,” explained Bubbles, “but after going outside and before eating, it’s better to wash off excess travelers.” Bani put his paws under the water, but several Microbeads hid in the greasy trail of cookies. One short encounter with water was not enough. Then the round Knight Soap in a foamy hat came out of the soapbox and offered his help.

First, Bani got his paws completely wet. The knight explained that soap helps the water to surround the grease and dirt with small bubbles. Bani frothed it, and the sticky shelters of the Microbuses began to disintegrate. The uninvited guests became worried: now it was more difficult for them to hold on to the skin. But Professor Bubble warned that the work had just begun.

Bani thoroughly rubbed his palms, the backs of his paws, between his toes and around his claws. He came up with the song "la-la-paws" so as not to finish too early. The magic hourglass calmly counted down the time, and the foam reached all forgotten corners. The last cunning Microbus hid at the thumb, but a small bubble found it there too.

Clean water washed away the foam along with the surrounding dirt, and the Microbeads began to swirl in a whirlpool. Bani turned off the tap to avoid wasting water and then dried his paws with his clean towel. It's easier for guests to travel on wet skin, so drying your hands is also important. The first tower of the city began to glow blue again.

To wake up the rest of the towers, Bani looked for places where washing was especially necessary: ​​after the street and the toilet, before eating, after coughing and playing with animals. Each time he repeated the entire sequence, and did not just wave his paws under the stream. New rainbows were lit up in the city. Residents saw that a good habit consists of small, understandable steps.

The last Microbus jumped from a shared toothbrush to a towel and was about to fly off to the neighbors after a loud cough. Bani showed how to cough into the crook of the elbow and use a personal brush and towel. “It’s great to share toys,” he noted, “but some things are better off having one owner.” The minibus was left without a road and angrily floated into the sewer.

The city of Soap Towers shimmered with all colors again. Bubbles wanted to call Bani the Great Germ Conqueror, but he shook his head: germs don’t disappear forever, so it’s more important to remember habits. At home, Bani washed his paws again after the journey and only then took the cookies. It crunched magnificently, and Knight Soap winked: cleanliness is not fear of the world, but simple care for oneself and others.
