Read together
Once upon a time, there was a little finger who felt left out. All the other body parts were having fun playing together, but the finger was always left out. One day, the finger decided to go on an adventure to find its place in the body.
The finger started by asking the toe, "Do you have any ideas where I belong?" The toe wiggled and said, "Maybe you belong on my foot!" But the finger didn't fit.
Next, the finger asked the leg, "Do you have any ideas where I belong?" The leg shook and said, "Maybe you belong on my knee!" But the finger still didn't fit.
Finally, the finger asked the belly, "Do you have any ideas where I belong?" The belly chuckled and said, "Maybe you belong on my hand!" And with that, the finger found its home on the hand and they all lived happily ever after.
