Once there was a face named Chips, who loved to make silly faces. But one day, Chips realized that he didn't have any arms to make silly gestures with. So, he asked his friends - nose, ears, eyes, fingers, shoulders, hands, legs - for help.

Nose said, "I can smell trouble, but I can't help you with your arms."

Ears said, "I can hear the laughter, but I don't have any arms either."

Eyes said, "I can see the humor, but I'm just an eye."

Fingers said, "We can wiggle and jiggle, but we don't have arms either."

Shoulders said, "We support you, but we also don't have arms."

Hands said, "We can give you a hand, but we don't have any arms to do it with."

Legs said, "We can run and jump, but we don't have arms either."

Just then, Chips remembered that he had a secret weapon - his big, silly smile! He opened his mouth wide and laughed so hard that his friends started to giggle too. And that's how Chips learned that sometimes, all you need is a smile to have a good time!
