Once upon a time there was a group of muscles who lived in the human body. Involuntary muscle, Triceps, Flexible, Quadriceps, Gluteus Maximus, Voluntary Muscle, Achilles Tendon and Hamstring were all best friends. One day, they decided to have a flexing competition to see who was the strongest.

Biceps was feeling left out because he wasn't invited, but he snuck into the competition anyway. The competition was going well, until Voluntary Muscle tripped on his own voluntary nerve and fell down. Involuntary Muscle tried to help him up but ended up pulling his own involuntary nerve. Triceps and Quadriceps were laughing so hard they couldn't stop flexing, and Gluteus Maximus was so flexible he bent over backwards.

Achilles Tendon got so excited that he pulled his own tendon and couldn't move. Hamstring tried to finish the competition but was too tired from all the laughing. In the end, they all realized that it didn't matter who was the strongest, as long as they were all having fun together. And that's how Biceps became part of their group of best friends.

Reflections

1. Why did the muscles have a flexing competition?
2. Who was left out of the competition at first?
3. How did Voluntary Muscle trip during the competition?
4. Why did Achilles Tendon pull his own tendon?
5. What was the outcome of the flexing competition?
6. Why did Biceps become part of the group of best friends?
