Once upon a time in a land far far away lived an ugly duckling. It was the colour of a in between green and brown. It had a big head but small body, small arms and mangy legs and his head was so far it could not walk so a mish rat ate a tall and fat so fat it did a farrrrrrrrt!!! It was so loud it blue out the power in fantastic dog, so they sold it for 2 dollars. The new home was a place for homeless. Then an angry mob came after him.
