Once upon a time there was a hand named Harry. He lived on a body and was best friends with the elbow, thumb and fingers. They loved to play together, but Harry was always getting into trouble.
One day, while playing a game of catch with his friends, Harry accidentally threw the ball too hard and it hit the head. The head wasn't happy and told Harry to be more careful.
Feeling ashamed, Harry went to see the shoulder for advice. The shoulder suggested that Harry try using his wrist and nail to control the ball better next time.
So, the next day when Harry and his friends played catch again, Harry used his wrist and nail just like the shoulder suggested. The ball flew straight and true and hit the finger right in the center.
Everyone cheered and Harry was so proud of himself. The neck even gave him a pat on the back. From then on, Harry was known as the best thrower in town. The end.
