The next day at school, the biotechnology teacher Susan gave us some activities so we could choose  and learn more about how the organs worked and how they were made. The activity consisted in drawing the organs as a scheme.

-Mike which organ are you going to choose?

-Dan, we all know that the stomach is the easier one

-Yeah... sure Mike, tell me how are you going to make it acid proof...

-Crap! you know I'm not keen on biology man... can you give me a hand on this?

-I will obviously help you! I have all the time of the world for you! I don't have any problems in doing my own project AND yours!

-you are being sarcastic, right?

-YES, MIKE YES.

-OK, I understand, wait wait John! hey, which organ will you make?

-mmmh... I think the heart is the best option, yes the heart obviously, its difficult, but it is a very important organ... I'm not going to choose the appendix or the stomach as some guys here, it would be silly to create a not-indispensable organ like the appendix... and the stomach, well, you could do it but the heart explains how all the organs can work so I only think its the best option. And you Dan?

-I don't know, I mean, the heart, is too used, the stomach doesn't attracts me, the appendix... well... is the appendix, lungs are just disgusting, i don't know...

John started looking at the list of organs

-Okey, you can do the kidneys

- Both? no way

-What about the liver? it's really important

Mike was looking at me like if he had a really good idea

-I KNOW, pancreas

-really guys? come on, i want a challenge

John kept reading the list, all the organs that he read sounded boring or really easy

-But Dan there are no more organs on the list...

-one is missing guys, the brain
