Read together
Once upon a time there was a funny and curious vertebrate named Verty. Verty had a long appendage that he used to explore the world. One day, while on a walk, Verty sprained his tendon and couldn’t move his appendage. He went to the doctor and found out that his appendage was a hinge joint. The doctor prescribed him some legumes to help with his bone marrow and spinal cord. Verty ate the legumes and soon enough he was able to move his appendage again. From that day on, Verty made sure to always eat his legumes and take good care of his hinge joint. The end.
