Once upon a time, there was a sticky monster named Sticky. He lived in a forest and had a very long tongue that he could use to catch his food from far away. One day, Sticky met a thin, strong twig named Brush. Brush was tired of being used for firewood and wanted to have a new purpose in life.

Sticky saw Brush's potential and offered to make him his new toothbrush. Brush was hesitant at first, but Sticky convinced him by saying "With your strength, you can clean my teeth better than any toothbrush!" And so, Brush became Sticky's new toothbrush.

Every morning, Brush would use his strong and thin body to scrub Sticky's teeth clean. Sticky loved it so much that he smiled all the time and even started singing songs about how clean his teeth were.

All the animals in the forest were amazed by Sticky's newfound happiness and they all wanted Brush to be their toothbrush too. But Brush was only interested in being Sticky's toothbrush, because he was proud of helping Sticky keep his teeth clean.

And so, Brush and Sticky lived happily ever after, with Brush brushing Sticky's teeth every day and Sticky smiling with a clean and healthy mouth. The end!
