Once upon a time, there was a magical world of shapes where Octagon and Pentagon lived. They were always competing to see who had the longer perimeter. One day, they decided to measure their perimeters and compare them. Octagon was so excited to see his perimeter was longer but to his surprise, Pentagon's perimeter was even longer! Octagon was amazed and asked how he managed to have a longer perimeter.

Pentagon replied, "It's all about the period. I have five straight lines that make up my perimeter, while you only have eight curved lines." Octagon realized that having straight lines helped increase the perimeter length. From that day on, Octagon and Pentagon became great friends and learned the importance of having straight lines in measuring perimeter. The end.
