Deep inside every one of us, there’s a tiny hero who doesn’t get much attention.

She doesn’t glow like Harriet the Heart or dance like Lenny the Lungs… But without her, healing would take forever!

Her name is Tina the Tissue, and this is her story.

💖 “I’m Not Just Soft — I’m Strong!”

One sunny morning inside a little boy named Leo, Tina the Tissue was busy mending a scrape on his knee.

“Careful, Leo!” she giggled as golden sparkles swirled around the cut. “You keep me working overtime!”

Captain Buddy and Harriet the Heart watched proudly.

“Tina, you’re incredible,” said Harriet. “How do you fix things so fast?”

Tina smiled. “It’s my superpower! I connect everything together — skin, muscles, bones. When someone gets hurt, I build bridges to make them whole again.”

And it was true!

Everywhere in the body, tissues are like the glue that keeps life connected.

🩹 The Secret World of Tissues

Captain Buddy led the team to Tina’s workshop — a shimmering garden of glowing threads.

“This is where it happens!” said Tina. “I make fibres that tie everything together — in your skin, your eyes, your bones, even your heart valves!”

Lenny the Lungs blew bubbles of oxygen to help her work.

Larry the Liver sent her energy from breakfast toast.

Together, the team helped her spin shimmering strands that looked like silk and light mixed together.

“That’s how bodies heal,” said Captain Buddy. “Tissues repair what’s broken, so life can keep going.”

🌟 When Tissues Need a Helping Hand

Sometimes, though, Tina can’t fix everything on her own.

Maybe the skin was badly burned, or a cornea (that’s the clear window in your eye) was hurt.

That’s when another kind of magic steps in — tissue donation.

When people donate tissues like skin, corneas, bone, or heart valves, doctors can help others heal, see, and move again.

It’s one of the kindest gifts in the world — a gift that says, “I want to help someone keep shining.”

👀 The Miracle of Vision

Captain Buddy whispered, “Let’s visit Clara the Cornea next!”

They travelled to a world of light and colour.

Clara smiled as she gently cleaned a bright glowing window.

“When I’m healthy, people can see rainbows, faces, and smiles,” she said.

“But sometimes, I get cloudy — and then a tissue donor helps bring back the view.”

Harriet’s eyes sparkled. “That’s amazing! It’s like sharing sunshine.”

Clara nodded. “Exactly. When we give tissues, we share the light.”

🧩 Heroes We Don’t See — But Always Feel

Tina and Clara might not be as famous as hearts or lungs, but their work changes lives every day.

They’re the quiet heroes of kindness — the ones who remind us that healing can come from love we never even meet.

Captain Buddy gathered everyone for a group hug.

“You see, every part of us matters,” he said. “And every act of kindness — big or small — helps someone heal a little faster.”
