The Ugly Duckling
One upon time, a mother duck sat on her eggs. She felt tired of sitting on them. She just wished the eggs would break out.
Several days later, she got her wish. The eggs cracked and some cute
little ducklings appeared. "Peep, peep" the little ducklings cried.
"Quack, quack" their mother greeted in return.
However the largest egg had not cracked. The mother duck sat on it for
several days. Finally, it cracked and a huge ugly duckling waddled out.
The mother duck looked at him in surprise. He was so big and very gray.
He didn't look like the others at all. He was like a turkey.
When the mother duck brought the children to the pond for their first
swimming lesson. The huge grey duckling splashed and paddled about just
as nicely as the other ducklings did. "That is not a turkey chick. He is
my very own son and quite handsome" the mother said proudly.
However, the other animals didn't agree. They hissed and made fun of him
day by day. Even his own sisters and brothers were very unkind. "You
are very ugly" they quacked.
The little poor duckling was very unhappy. "I wish I looked like them"
he thought to himself. One day, the ugly duckling run away and hid in
the bushes. The sad duckling lived alone through the cold and snow
winter. Finally the spring flowers began to bloom. While he was swimming
in the pond, he saw three large white swans swimming toward him. "Oh,
dear. these beautiful birds will laugh and peck me too" he said to
himself. But the swans did not attack him. Instead, they swam around him
and stroked him with their bills. As the ugly duckling bent his neck to
speak to them, he saw his reflection in the water. He could not believe
his eyes. "I am not an ugly duckling but a beautiful swam" he
exclaimed.
He was very happy. From that day on, he swam and played with his new friends and was happier than he had never been.
