These pages depict the story of “Body and Limbs” and its application. This story is about the conflict between the hands and feet against the body. The hands and feet decided not to work with the body, but this backfired and all perished. The application relates the story to Menimus Agrippa, the famous Roman consul and general, who understood that every member in the body and community has its role.
