Once upon a time in a far away land, there lived a tiny organism named Microbe. He loved to play and run around, but one day he got sick with a disease caused by a virus. His symptoms included sneezing, coughing and feeling very tired.

Microbe went to see the doctor and was given an antibiotic to take. But little did he know, the virus had developed resistance to the antibiotic! The cells of Microbe's immune system were working hard to fight the infection, but they just couldn't seem to get rid of it.

One day, Microbe met an old wise organism who told him that the best way to fight the disease was to stay active and eat healthy foods. Microbe followed the advice, and soon he was back to his playful and energetic self!

From then on, Microbe made sure to take care of his immune system, and he never got sick again. And the virus learned its lesson, never to mess with Microbe again!

The end.
