Long ago near a pleasant little pond, a blind dragonfly named Drag existed. All the other pond critters hated the bumbling bug because he always bumped into them. “Are you blind?!” yelled Joe the butterfly when Drag accidently bumped into him. “Yes actually,” replied Drag grumpily, “ why are you yelling?” Unfortunately for him, Joe had already fluttered off toward a pretty flower. “Stop talking to yourself, you’re disturbing my sleep!” snapped Yolanda the moth. “Ow!

However, “You’re Ugly Too” by Lorrie Moore, lacks behind the others resulting from its weak plot, insignificant character development, and meaningless themes.
