Once upon a time there was a radish named 

Ralpho.  

All of the other radishes called Ralpho mean 

names because they thought he was 

annoying. Their favorite insult was calling him 

Ralpho the ridiculous radish. 

But one day Ralpho was chosen out of all the 

other radishes to be eaten by the Piper family -  

which is a big honor in the radish community.  

Ralpho was the lucky radish that Little Patrice 

Piper ate that one fateful day whenever her 

brain told her to eat through the nervous 

system. 

Ralpho went into mouth where the teeth broke 

down his nutrients into smaller pieces and 

salivary glands made him moist so he could go 

down the esophagus easier.  

Ralpho then made his way down the esophagus where he 

then landed in the stomach. He was a little afraid whenever 

the stomach began using the glands in the stomach lining 

to break down protein using a digestive enzyme, but then 

he relaxed when he realized that the nutrients being taken 

from him were going to fuel the rest of Patrice. "Wow!" 

Ralpho said, "I sure am helpful!" 

Ralpho landed in the small intestine where 

enzymes in the walls absorbed his nutrients 

and transported them throughout the rest of 

her body with help from the circulatory 

system. 

His adventure continued when the muscular 

system continued to push Ralpho through the 

digestive system. He then landed in the 

pancreas. The enzymes from the pancreas 

began to break down all the carbs, proteins, 

and fats that were found in Ralpho. "If only my 

friends could see me now!" Ralpho said 

proudly. 

But the adventure didn't stop there! Ralpho 

was then taken to the liver where bile that is 

held by the gallbladder between meals and 

then pushed into the liver when it is needed 

began to digest more of Ralpho to get to those 

gosh-darn nutrients. 

He finally landed in the large intestine where 

water and all remaining nutrients are absorbed 

and combined with older cells to be made from 

a liquid form into stool.
