Once upon a time, there were two animals who lived in a forest. They had four legs each, but one day they woke up with only two legs each! They were very confused and did not know what had happened.

They decided to go on an adventure to find out what had happened to their legs. They walked for many days and eventually came across a magical creature with eight legs. The creature told them that it had taken their legs because it wanted to collect as many legs as possible.

The two animals were upset, but the creature offered to give them back their legs if they could find ten legs for it. So the animals set off on a new adventure to find ten legs.

They found six legs belonging to some insects, but they still needed four more. They finally found four legs belonging to a spider and brought them back to the creature.

The creature was so happy that it gave the two animals back their legs and they were able to walk again. They thanked the creature and went back to their forest, where they lived happily ever after.

4. What did the creatures with eight legs want in return for the legs?
5. How many legs did the two animals have at the end of the story?
