Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom of bones, there lived a silly little tendon named Twang. Twang loved to play pranks on the other bones, especially the serious and boring vertebrates.
One day, Twang came up with his silliest prank yet. He convinced the spinal cord that he had found a rare and delicious treat - bone marrow ice cream! The spinal cord was so excited that he didn't even notice when Twang tied his ligaments together.
As the spinal cord tried to reach for the "bone marrow ice cream," he stumbled and fell, causing all the cartilage in the kingdom to shake with laughter.
Even the king of bones couldn't contain his chuckle as he watched the spinal cord try to untangle himself. From that day on, Twang was known as the bone-iest prankster of them all!
