The Five Brothers on Hand Island
On a big island called Hand Island, there lived five brothers on a wide palm with a wrist. Each brother had something special they could do.
The youngest brother was Pinky. He was small but always full of fun. Pinky loved to dance and make everyone laugh. He might be little, but people needed him for important jobs, like holding small things steady or helping with fine tasks, like tying shoes or picking up tiny objects.
Ring Finger was next. He was very important because he helped people get married. He helped put on the wedding rings and made sure they fit perfectly.
Middle Finger was the tallest brother. He was strong and helped people reach high places. He picked fruit from the tallest trees and shared it with everyone.
The Index Finger, or Pointer, was very good at pointing to things. He was quick and helped people find lost things or show them where to go.
The oldest and shortest brother was Thumb. Thumb was very strong and could touch all his brothers at once. He helped carry things and gave great high-fives!
Together, the five brothers worked as a team to make Hand Island a happy place.
