Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She lived in a small village with her family. One day, while playing in the fields, she stumbled upon a magic crystal. As she picked it up, she suddenly felt a strange tingling sensation in her ears.

She rubbed her ears and looked at the crystal, and to her surprise, it started to glow. Suddenly, her cheeks began to feel warm and her arm started to grow longer. She couldn't believe what was happening to her.

Lily rubbed her chin, trying to make sense of what was happening. She opened her mouth to scream, but instead, a small bird flew out. She was shocked! She looked at her foot and saw that it had transformed into a hoof. She rubbed her eye, but her hand became a paw.

Lily was no longer a little girl, but a magical creature with the ears of a deer, the cheeks of a chipmunk, the arm of a giraffe, the chin of a goat, the mouth of a bird, the foot of a horse, the eye of an owl, and the hand of a bear.

She was scared and didn't know what to do, but then she remembered the magic crystal. She closed her eyes and held it tight, wishing to be back to her normal self. Suddenly, she felt the tingling sensation again and when she opened her eyes, she was back to being a little girl.

Lily learned that the magic crystal had the power to grant wishes, but she also learned to be careful what she wished for. From then on, she made sure to only use the crystal for good and to help those in need.

The end.
