Once upon a time, there was a weird creature made entirely of body parts. It had legs, arms, a nose, shoulders, hands, eyes, fingers, ears, and a face.

One day, the creature went on an adventure and encountered a magical fairy who granted it a wish. The creature thought for a moment and said, "I wish to be able to move all these body parts as I please."

The fairy granted the creature its wish and it began to dance around, wiggling its legs and arms, flapping its hands and fingers, and shaking its shoulders. It even started to play the drums with its nose, ears, and face!

Everyone in the nearby village was amazed at the creature's unusual dances and soon joined in. The creature became famous for its silly movements, and every time it danced, everyone laughed and smiled.

And that's how the creature with many body parts became the happiest and most famous dancer in the land!

Reflections

1. What do you think the creature was before it was granted its wish?
2. How did the creature feel about its new ability to move its body parts as it pleased?
3. Do you think you would have liked to dance with the creature? Why or why not?
4. If you could make a wish, what would you wish for?
5. Can you think of any other body parts that could have been added to the creature?
