Let's look at an e-ye. It has man-y
parts. This is an elephant's e-ye. The
e-yelid and the e-yelashes protect the
e-yeball. There are tears in the e-ye,
too. The e-yelid opens and closes,
and the tears clean the e-ye.

The pupil lets light into the e-ye. This

helps people and animals to see.
When there's lots of light, the pupil
is little. When there's no light, the
pupil is big.

People have tea rs to cleo n

their eyes. People cry tears
when they are sad, too!

 Protect Your Eyes
It's important for animals to
protect their elJes. In the desert

It's sunnlJ and windlJ there. Its
elJelids clean the sand from its elJes.
The meercat has black fur around
its elJes. This protects its elJes when
it's sunnlJ.

People wear sunglasses

when it's verlJ sunnlJ.
This protects their
elJes. ElJes are
important.
Remember to
protect them!
