“Hi! My name is Celly, and I live inside your body. I’m a tiny cell, but I do a really big job!”

Meet Celly

“My home is like a busy city. Everyone has an important job! The nucleus is the boss, mitochondria make energy, and I’m one of the workers.”

“Our cell city buzzes like a beehive!” (Simile)

“The nucleus shouted, ‘It’s time for mitosis!’ I didn’t know what that was, but it sounded exciting!”

“First, I copied all my chromosomes so the new cells would have the same information.
It was like making two identical recipe books! (Metaphor)”

“Then, all my chromosomes lined up in the middle.
They looked like dancers getting ready for a show! (Simile)”

“One day, I met my friend May, who lives in another part of the body. Her job was a little different.”

“May copied her chromosomes too, but she whispered, ‘This time, something special will happen.’”
