He found a group that looked just like him and he fit right in! In this happy ending, the ugly pumpkin, now a squash, enjoys a feast with his new family. As a result, he considers himself to be the ugly pumpkin and feels very lonely. No one will pick him up from the patch, he is kicked, and trees throw apples at him. He looks different than all the other pumpkins and is teased for the way he looks. The Ugly Pumpkin is a heartwarming story about a squash that thinks he is a pumpkin.
