Once upon a time, there lived a curly person who was very short. They lived in a forest with many animals, but one day they stumbled upon an unusual creature with a long tail. The curly person was curious and approached the animal to say hello, but the animal ran away! The curly person chased after the animal, but it was too fast. So, they decided to ask for help from the other animals in the forest. They gathered all the animals together and formed a plan to catch the animal with the long tail. They worked together and finally succeeded in catching the animal. To their surprise, the animal wasn't just any ordinary animal, it was a magical creature that granted wishes! The curly person made a wish for a long tail like the animal's, and their wish was granted! From that day on, the curly person was known as the one with the longest tail in the forest, and they lived happily ever after.
