Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Benny who lived in the forest. Benny was very special because he was a vertebrate, which meant he had a skeleton inside his body to help him stand up straight and move around.
One day, Benny decided to go on an adventure to find some yummy legumes to eat. He hopped along through the forest, but suddenly, he heard a loud snap. He looked down and saw that one of his front legs was bent at an awkward angle. Benny was so sad, he couldn't move or find any food.
Just then, a wise old owl flew down from a tree and asked Benny what was wrong. Benny explained his situation, and the owl said, "Don't worry, little bunny. I know just what to do."
The owl flew Benny to a secret place in the forest where there was a wise old tortoise. The tortoise listened to Benny's problem and said, "Your leg is broken. You have a bone inside your leg that helps you stand and move, but it's surrounded by soft tissues like cartilage, ligaments, and tendons that hold it in place. It sounds like one of your tendons has been stretched too far."
The tortoise then explained that Benny needed to rest and let his body heal. He told Benny that his bone marrow would work hard to repair the broken bone, but that he would need to eat lots of healthy legumes to help him get better.
Benny was so grateful for the help, and he followed the tortoise's advice. He rested and ate lots of legumes, and soon he was able to hop around again, just as dexterous as ever!
Benny learned that taking care of his appendages was very important, and that he needed to be careful when he was hopping and playing. He also learned that his body was strong and could heal itself, as long as he gave it the proper care. And from that day on, Benny lived a long, happy life, always grateful for his strong and healthy appendages.
