Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy who loved to play with his body parts. One day, he decided to have a race with his Shoulder, Ear, Nose, Knee, Head, Mouth, Eye, and Toe. The race was on, and they all ran as fast as they could. But every time Timmy's Shoulder was about to win, his Ear would shout "Wait for me!" and slow down. Then his Nose would jump in and say "We can do this together!" and trip over his Knee. Timmy's Head, Mouth, Eye, and Toe all cheered them on, but in the end, it was Timmy's Toe that crossed the finish line first. Timmy laughed and said "I guess it pays to keep your toes on the ground!" The End.

• Who won the race in the story?
• What did Timmy's Ear and Nose do during the race?
• What did Timmy say about his toe crossing the finish line first?
• Can you think of another body part that could have joined the race?
• What do you think would happen if Timmy had a second race with his body parts?
