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 swan" 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.
