I am Adnan’s Body Hey everybody, my name is Adnan. Please help me! My body parts have been torn apart by an evil witch named Rafata! Only YOU can help me put them back together. Here’s how you can do it.

One body part of mine will be here every week. You have to cut it out, collect them every week until they all come together. I’m sure you can do it and save me from Rafata!

WEEK 1 Body parts:

Mouth Save me friends!!! I am Adnan’s mouth and evil Rafata tore me off Adnan’s face so that he cannot scream for help. The mouth allows Adnan to talk, to smile and to whistle. The mouth also contains teeth and tongue, that allows Adnan to eat his food. His teeth helps him to chew up his food, so, his body can swallow and digest it easily, and they are among the hardest parts in his body. Help me get back to Adnan’s body and I will help him bite Rafata so hard that she will be bound let Adnan go!

Trivia

Burgers •

• •

Hamburgers got their name from the Hamburg steaks that the Germans brought with them to the US. In 1982 the world’s largest hamburger was cooked and then eaten. Around 10,000 people came to sample the tasty 3,591 pound burger.

If you put all the hamburgers that the Americans eat, in a line, they would circle the earth more than 32 times.

Americans eat about 14 billion burgers a year.

The first fast food restaurant was introduced in 1921. It sold burgers for only five cents! Raisa Rahim
