Once upon a time, in a jungle far far away, lived an agile scarab named Speedy. Speedy was famous for being the fastest beetle in the jungle. He could adapt to any situation and was loved by all the species of the jungle.

One day, Speedy saw a new feature in the jungle. It was a big burrow that looked like it was built by a group of insects. Intrigued, Speedy decided to investigate. When he reached the burrow, he found that it was home to a social group of beetles who had formed a community.

Speedy was amazed by the community and wanted to join them. But the leader of the community told him that they only accept beetles that are born in the jungle and not captive ones like Speedy. Disappointed, Speedy left the burrow.

On his way back, Speedy stumbled upon a group of larvae who were in trouble. They had fallen into a pit and couldn't get out. Speedy remembered the adaptive skills he had and used them to rescue the larvae. Impressed by his bravery, the leader of the community asked Speedy to join their group.

From that day on, Speedy became a beloved member of the community and used his agility to help other beetles in need. He proved that it's not where you're from, but what you do that makes you part of a community.

The End.
