A smiling child stands in the middle, with "grow", "learn" and "play" waiting on the right. On the left, a plate fills with an apple, a carrot and a slice of bread, one at a time, and an arrow shows that food gives energy. A glass fills with water, and drops run along a second arrow to show that water helps the whole body work well. Then arrows run from the child to grow, learn and play, ending on the recap "Food and water help you grow, learn and play."
