Kim had many friends. She liked to play every day. When all the kids went home from school, Kim would be busy chasing butterflies and beavers. When she returned home, she would be dirty from head to toe. One day, when Kim ran out to play with her friends, she noticed that everyone was shrinking away from her. “Why don’t you come near me?” Kim asked. Ivy, her best friend, said, “Your hair is smelly. Today we played hide-and-seek after school. Our hair was sweaty with all the running around. Why didn’t you wash your hair like we did?” Kim looked at her friends. Indeed, their curls were shiny and silky, unlike her matted, dirty hair. She said, “I always wash my hands and feet, but I seldom wash my hair!” That day onwards, although Kim did not wash her hair frequently yet she made sure that it was always clean.
As Clean as Kim
