Three ugly brothers

You know those little arcade machines that you can win stuffed toys from, by grabbing them with a metal claw? Well, I never thought it was possible to win anything, I thought they were rigged so that you couldn't. Today however, I realised that sometimes it is actually possible to win.

I was visiting a friend and her baby, and we went to a soft play centre where there was once such machine. She was saying how it is impossible to win anything, and they aren't worth playing in England, but you can win in Las Vegas. However, as she was saying this, to our surprise, when we pressed the button the claw started moving, and we hadn't even put any money in it. We were so shocked that it moved, and didn't win anything that time. We tried again, and aimed for a corner packed with toys, and this time we were more successful. The machine grabbed not one but two!!! We were so excited. However, they were the ugliest toys I have ever seen. They were little men, who looked a bit like Pinocchio's. Even the toddler wasn't impressed. There was no more credit in the machine, so we put in a pound for another go, and won another of the same. They were the ugliest toys in the machine, yet we managed to win three of them. Perhaps it was rigged after all, as they have longer limbs so are easier to grab than the nicer teddies. They are already falling apart. I hereby present to you... Pug, Tug and Ugg*! Have you ever seen any uglier toys than these?
