Once upon a time, there was a curious creature with only one eye, curly hair, sharp teeth, a big belly, and long toes. He had legs as tall as trees and knees that bent the wrong way. His hands were huge, and his feet were even bigger. But his fingers were so tiny, they were almost invisible.

One day, this creature went for a walk in the forest and stumbled upon a group of animals who were having a picnic. The animals were shocked to see such an unusual creature, but they welcomed him with open arms.

As they ate and laughed together, the creature's big belly started to growl. Suddenly, his big hand reached out and grabbed a pie from the table. The animals gasped, but then they noticed his little fingers struggling to pick up the pie. They all burst out laughing, and the creature joined in, realizing how silly he must have looked.

From that day on, the creature became known as the "Silly Pie Stealer" and became a beloved friend to all the animals in the forest. And every time they had a picnic, they would save a pie just for him and watch him try to pick it up with his tiny fingers.

The end.
