Sniffles’ Sneaky Adventure

Once upon a time, in a bustling playground full of laughter and games, there lived a tiny but mischievous germ named Sniffles. Sniffles wasn't just any germ - he loved adventure! One day, while bouncing around on a little girl's hand (right after she just got off of the swing), Sniffles spotted a boy named Max who was running around, pretending to be a superhero.

"Oh, he looks fun!" thought Sniffles, and with a hop, skip, and jump, he landed right on Max's finger. Max didn't even notice because he was too busy running around. But then, Max rubbed his nose, and whoosh! Sniffles jumped right inside of his nose!

Sniffles threw a big germy party once he settled inside of Max's nose. He called his friends Tickles, who made throats scratchy, and Achoo, who loved making people sneeze. "Let's build a clubhouse in here!" said Sniffles. Together, they got to work, which made Max feel a little sniffly and tired. Max still didn't know what was going on. All he knew was that his nose was runny, and he didn't feel like being superhero of the day anymore.

Max's body wasn't about to let these troublemakers stay forever, though! "Hey!" said his immune cells (these were kind of like tiny soldiers). "You can't live here!" These tiny soldiers started chasing Sniffles and his friends, and they enjoyed causing all kinds of commotion - sneezing, coughing, and even a little fever. Sniffles tried to hide, but the tiny soldiers were too clever and persistent. Slowly but surely, the clubhouse got shut down.

After a couple of days, Max started to feel better, and Sniffles and his gang were finally sent packing. But, where did they go? That's the tricky part. You see, when Max sneezed into his hand without a tissue, Sniffles hopped off to look for his next adventure. Hmm... do you think he might be on your hand right now? Better be safe, and wash those hands just in case!
