Once upon a time, there was a creature who had eyes on his knees, ears on his fingers, head on his legs and legs on his head. It was quite a sight to see! Everyone called him “Mixed-Up” and he loved to play tricks on the other creatures. One day, Mixed-Up decided to play a trick on his friend, a rabbit. He told the rabbit to close his eyes and guess what body part Mixed-Up was touching. The rabbit guessed wrong every time because Mixed-Up was touching his own knees which were his eyes! The rabbit couldn't stop laughing and from that day on, Mixed-Up and the rabbit became best of friends. And whenever anyone asked about Mixed-Up's strange body, they would just giggle and say “he’s just Mixed-Up!” The End.
