One day a man who looked rather strange came 

to a nice little town.   The nice little town was 

known for many things and the town was called 

Suburbia among all things

Whether it was the white flowers that 

decorated every lawn or the humble folks that 

would say hi to everyone they saw

Countless small mom and pop shops that 

sold all kind of things such as candy that 

was quite dandy.   Rainbow lollipop, red 

apple taffy, and smooth, milky chocolates 

of all sizes that would make a child’s eye 

glister were in the countless candy shops 

that surrounded Suburbia.

Suburbia was happy with things being the 

way they ought to be.   Of course that all 

changed, when the strange man came to 

the nice little town.  

The strange man was rather tall and 

rather slim, not to mention he was 

dressed all in black.   Plus with his large 

black hat you could not see an inch of his 

face.     So the man walked around 

looking rather strange and not a single 

person in this nice small town would 

even say hi.   The best he could get from 

the people of Suburbia was whispers 

behind his back and unusual stares

That was until one little girl came to the 

strange man and asked, “May I ask 

strange man what is your name?”   Slowly 

the strange man looked down at the little 

girl and said, “I thought no one would 

ask, my name is Sir James.”   “Sir James 

why did come to this town?” said the little 

girl.

“Why the answer is quite simple.   You see I have a rather large 

pimple,” Sir James responded as he took off his black hat and showed a 

rather large pimple and smiled to show off his dimples.   “Those nice 

dimples give you a beautiful smile it is a shame that your pimple looks 

so ugly and vile,” said the little girl.   “Yes that’s why I dress in all black 

including my hat because no one would like a man with a face so ugly 

like that,” cried Sir James.   The little girl said, “Calm down.   There is no 

need to frown, I’ll just bring you to a doctor and soon you will be a 

much better looking man.”  

So the little girl and Sir James went to the 

doctor, but the doctor said there was no cure 

for his pimple and said, “You’ll just have to 

deal with it.”  

Sir James felt quite sad, but the little girl tried to cheer him 

up, “Your pimple is not that bad.   I’m sure if people knew 

you they would know you’re a good man.” “How would 

they know with my ugly pimple? I was hoping to come to 

this town to find a cure and make my life simple,” sobbed 

and cried Sir James.   “I know! How about we put you in a 

competition and then everyone can see how great of a 

person you can be!” exclaimed the little girl.   “That would 

be great, except I am not a very competitive man.   I’m 

good at drawing and that’s really about it,” replied Sir 

James.   “That’s a great idea you’ll join the art show!  

There’s going to be an art show in downtown Suburbia’s 

art museum.”   “I suppose I could try then maybe people 

will like who I am,” replied Sir James.
