Scuttles The Ugly Scorpion

by Jonathan Leeming

Once upon a time, there was an ugly scorpion named Scuttles. He was so ugly that the other animals in the forest were afraid of him. They would run away whenever they saw him, and they would call him names like “Stinker” and “Bug Face.”

Scuttles was very sad. He didn’t understand why the other animals were afraid of him. He just wanted to be friends.

One day, Scuttles was walking through the forest when he saw a beautiful painting. The painting was of a flower, and it was so beautiful that Scuttles was mesmerized. He had never seen anything like it before.

Scuttles asked the animal who painted the picture, and the animal told him that it was a butterfly. Scuttles was amazed. He had never thought that a butterfly could be so talented.

Scuttles decided that he wanted to learn how to paint. He went to the butterfly and asked him to teach him. The butterfly was hesitant at first, but he eventually agreed.

Scuttles worked very hard, and he soon learned how to paint. He was very talented, and he loved to paint beautiful pictures.

One day, Scuttles decided to hold an art show. He invited all of the animals in the forest, and they were all very impressed with his paintings. They couldn’t believe that the ugly scorpion could paint such beautiful pictures.

The art show was a huge success, and Scuttles was finally accepted by the other animals. They were no longer afraid of him, and they were all his friends.

Scuttles was very happy. He had finally found a way to use his ugliness to his advantage. He was able to use his talent for painting to make friends and to make the world a more beautiful place.

Scuttles continued to paint, and he became known as the best painter in the forest. He even started to teach other animals how to paint. Scuttles was no longer ugly, and he was proud of who he was. He knew that he could do anything he set his mind to, as long as he didn’t let his ugliness hold him back.

One day, Scuttles was invited to paint a mural on the side of a building in the city. He was very excited, and he worked hard on the mural. When he was finished, it was a beautiful painting of a forest. The people in the city loved the mural, and they were amazed that it was painted by a scorpion.

Scuttles was very happy. He had finally found a way to share his talent with the world. He knew that he would never forget this day.

Scuttles continued to paint, and he brought beauty to the world. He showed everyone that it doesn’t matter what you look like, what matters is what’s inside.
