A Teenage Disaster Sarah and Rachel had known, and hated, each other their entire life. As mean, popular girls- they were always comparing looks and competing for guys and attention. They each spent an absurd amount of money on clothes and plastic surgery in order to be the most beautiful girl in their high school. One day, a popular football player asked out Rachel on a date in front of the entire school. Sarah, enraged that she was not the one asked out, felt ashamed and embarrassed. She began to question how attractive she was and went looking for confirmation. After some thought, she decided to have a modeling competition with Sarah to prove who was prettier. Sarah readily agreed because she had no doubt that she would win. The news of the competition spread around the entire school, and soon even the teachers and administration were involved.

A tortoise decided that he would be the one to put a stop to this behavior, and came up with a plan in which to do so. One day he arrived at the elephant's house and ate a delicious snack right in front of him. Predictably, the elephant asked for some of his food, but the tortoise said that the elephant must give up an eye in order to eat it. Agreeing, the elephant allowed his eyes to be painfully slashed out. The elephant ate the snack and was not satisfied, so he asked for more. The same deal took place- more snacks for his other eye. The tortoise then left, leaving the elephant blind and feeling deceived. The elephant went around town asking for other animals to lend him their eyes, but everyone said no except for the worms. The worms were glad to have been noticed and ...
