Once upon a time, there was a brave little thumb named Tommy. Tommy lived on a hand, and loved to explore the rest of his body. One day, while he was on an adventure to find the tallest finger in the land, he stumbled upon a nail that was stuck in his head!

Tommy's hand tried to pull him out, but his neck was too stiff and his elbow wouldn't bend. His shoulder shrugged, and his wrist even wriggled, but nothing worked.

Just then, a friendly leg came along and offered to help. The leg lifted the arm up high and with a big THUD, the nail popped out of Tommy's head!

From that day on, Tommy was known as the bravest thumb in all the land, and all the other body parts looked up to him. The end.
