"What happened to you?" said the kid. But Joe didn't feel like telling that story, so he just said, "What do you think?" "Ummm...." The kid didn't know how to answer that. But another kid did. "Did it fall off?" "No," said Joe. A third kid thought that was silly. "Legs don't fall off," she said. Kid Number Four agreed. He asked, "Was it a burglar?" Then Kid Two thought very hard and said, "Did it fall off... in the toilet?" "No, and no!" said Joe. "This is a trick, isn't it," said Kid Five. "You're hiding it." "NO!" said Joe, "And stop staring at my bottom!" Excerpted from What Happened to You? by James Catchpole All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
