finger becomes a stomach and changes the food to blood so that the animal can grow. When it wants to go for a walk, Ht puts forth a finger, and then the whole body rolls itself into the finger, and thus it moves forward. So the little ameba can make an arm, or a mouth, or a stomach, or a leg, wherever and whenever it wants to.
