The Little Crooked Man
belongs to the fir-tree family, and as he is clothed only in his little rough suit of brown bark, you can see ([Fig. 151]) how the twigs grow that form his arms and legs. These are in such positions and have such peculiar curves he would look as if running even without hands and feet, but the proper adjustment of hands as well as feet emphasizes the action. Both are turned in the direction in which he is going, and one foot is lifted while the other rests on its heel, giving the stepping-forward effect.

You will find the Crooked Man's head in [Fig. 141]. His hands are cut from brown paper, like C ([Fig. 144]), and his feet, which are also brown, are like E ([Fig. 144]).
