Hold it right there, barefoot boy. Officer Tarsus here, on foot patrol. D'ja ever think about yer Feet? Ya got just 26 bones down there to carry the whole rest a yer body. So ya gotta take care of 'em with strong shoes with lotsa arch support. Lissen up to these other foot pointers and a foot poem, 'n I'll let; ya off with a warnin'. Take it; away, professor.
Thank you Officer Tarsus. First some foot facts:
Your thickest skin is on the soles of your feet.
Flies have a sticky glue-like substance on their feet to walk upside down without failing off of things.
Before rulers were invented, people used their feet to measure things.
