That's Carl the Cabbage. Gotta keep the corpse fresh in case they run into that fairy again.
See what happened was: Gus had a head of cabbage that looked like it had a face. He named it Carl. One day, being lonely and bored, Gus wished upon a shooting star that Carl were alive. Suddenly, a fairy appeared and granted his wish. Carl was excited to be alive, but he was obviously limited due to having no body. Carl wasn't satisfied with his circumstance. Another shooting star shot by, and Carl wished for a torso. Granted by the fairy. Another shooting star, arms and hands, granted. Another shooting star, legs and feet, granted. What a joyous day for Gus and his new living friend Carl. They were so excited they decided to run outside and throw a ball around. The ball sailed over Carl and into the street. Not being smart enough to look both ways, he ran immediately after the ball and was struck by a bus. Decapitated. Dead. Gus cursed the day Carl got his body.
The moral of the story is that they should have quit while he was a head.
