Spinning Knee Man, from THE WOMAN WHO COULD EAT WOOD

Spinning Knee Man His knees grew bigger and steel strong until he was big. Whenever he wanted to he could extend his knees (and it didn’t even hurt!) ten times as big. That wasn’t a grotesque display as it probably should be. No one could see his flat, rounded triangular bone, only see his pale hairy skin that covered his knee. Shockingly no muscles damaged. Shockingly no tendons and ligaments damaged. He could spin his knees and skin like a small chopper in high gear. His role was to air deliver packages to homes. And deliver orphans to their new homes afar and near. Doing both was highly rewarding. The community marvelled at his ability that was totally rare. He joked that the best thing about it was that he got to fly for free everywhere.
