Read together
Once upon a time, there was a creature named Bop who had all body parts mixed up. Bop's nose was where it's mouth should be, its fingers were on its knees, its hands were on its head, and so on. Bop was always getting into trouble because it kept smelling its food instead of eating it, or tripping over its own arms.
One day, Bop met a wise old creature who told Bop to use its mixed-up body parts to its advantage. So Bop did just that! It used its nose to smell out yummy treats, its fingers to tickle its friends, and its legs to run faster than anyone else. Bop was finally happy and everyone loved it just the way it was. The end.
