Read together

Once upon a time, there was a knee named Knobby. Knobby loved to play and explore, but he was always getting into trouble because his eye was always looking the wrong way! One day, Knobby stumbled upon a group of teeth who were always brushing and shining bright. Knobby asked, "Why are you so clean?" The teeth replied, "We have to be ready at all times, in case we need to bite into something yummy." Knobby thought that was a great idea, so he decided to start taking care of himself too. He washed his hand, polished his toe, rubbed his belly, combed his hair, and even gave his foot a pedicure. But when it came time to take care of his finger and legs, he realized they were too far away! So, Knobby got creative and used his toes to tickle his legs and fingers until they were all clean and shiny. From that day on, Knobby was always the cleanest and most well-groomed knee around!
