Stomach of Soul

A young man looked in the mirror and found that his face was turning pale. This made him sad and worried.

A wise man told him to eat apples. The vitamins and minerals in the apple would make his skin red and shining. He ate apples, but it did not work on his skin. Instead, he started feeling heaviness in his mood.

Another person told him to eat liver. It would help his body increase its blood count, turning his face red. Eating liver also did not benefit him. Instead, he suffered from a loose stomach.

Over time, he became weaker and weaker. One day, his friends took him to a doctor. After certain tests, the doctor diagnosed that his stomach was too weak to properly digest any food and nutrients. He advised the man to go through proper treatment for his stomach. It was only after this treatment that he would benefit from food and nutrients.

The young man followed the doctor’s advice and went through the proper stomach treatment. Soon he started taking and digesting healthy foods.

It was not a very long time before he became healthy and his face turned red and bright.
