Mr. Kintobotnik flew the SCAS towards Brooke's right arm. As we approach it, we observe the hairs on her arm; they're plentiful. I remember she told me that she keeps her arms like this because she thinks they look attractive, and I agree with her.
While we land, the hairs become tall trees, her skin is piled with dead cells, and some of the cells go off and drift away in the wind.
"Welcome, class,” said Mr. Kintobotnik, “to the skin!"
The entire class observed Brooke's arm in awe. I was already in awe when we were heading to her arm.
"Mr. Kintobotnik?' asked Kenneth, “What does the skin have to do with the immune system?"
"I'm glad you asked that!” answered Mr. Kintobotnik. “You see, your skin protects you from any dangerous invaders, such as bacteria and viruses that can give you colds.”
"What about the flakes coming off Brooke's arm?” asked Mary.
“'Those are dead skin cells Brooke is shedding,” Mr. Kintobotnik. “Once the cells shed, new ones come in to take their place."
As Mr. Kintobotnik was teaching, some dead skin cells shedded and flew away. All the students want to learn more about how the skin works. Mr. Kintobotnik gave us a choice: we could either enter an opening in Brooke's skin, go in a hair follicle, or enter a sweat gland.
