Dear number five, there are so many reasons why you are important. Humans have 5 digits on each of their hands and feet. There are five limbs on a body, if you include the head. Humans have five senses. There are five points on a star. Many cultures believe there are five elements: earth, fire, metal, water, and wood. The $5 bill is one of the most commonly used in currency. Bolts that are pentagonal are used to hold fire hydrants together. There are five rings in the Olympics. There are five vowels in English. When someone says “take five!” workers sigh with relief knowing they can relax. Five, don’t you see? Without you, our daily lives would be lacking a pattern which we subconsciously rely on.
