In the sea, bigger fishes often eat the smaller ones. But sometimes a small fish can be great too!

There is a small fish like this in the American cartoon film Shark Tale.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, milk may work in the same way!

Milk is the natural food for mammalian(哺乳动物的) babies. It helps them grow strong because it is rich in proteins(蛋白质), calcium(钙)and vitamins(维生素).

“Mum asked me to drink milk when I was eight because she thought it would help me grow tall and strong,” said 15-year-old Fu Xiao from Xi’an. “I didn’t know how fast I was growing unt il I found I was the second tallest girl in my class.”

Do you know how tall the Junior 3 student is? 169 cm!

Milk can also help you sleep better because it calms you down.
