 “The Ugly Ducklings’’ by Hans Christian
Andersen

It was a warm summer day. A mother duck had

her nest hidden in the long grass, safe from
weasels and the fox. She sat on her eggs, waiting
for the eggs to hatch. Finally, the eggs hatched,
with a pop and peep!peep! Bunch of golden
ducklings appeared.  The mother duck was so
happy to see her ducklings. But the largest egg
in the nest was still there.

The mother duck didn't remember laying such a

huge egg. Suddenly the large egg cracked open,
the baby bird was big, Grey and ugly. He had
huge feet and a broad beak and didn't look like a
duckling.  Other ducklings don't like him as he
was ugly. A few days later the mother duck took
her ducklings for a swim.

The big Grey duckling also joined other

ducklings.  After a great swim, the duck family
waddled (walked with slow steps) on their into
the yard. As the Grey duckling entered the yard,
all the birds started talking about him. Every day
he was pecked and pushed by ducks and even by
the chickens. 

The duckling moved away from those ducks.

The poor duckling felt very lonely. He didn't
even move from that place. As it was winter, the
water was so cold, and he got stuck in the
swamp as it froze. In the morning a farmer who
came that way rescued the duckling and took
him to his house. But the duckling was terrified,
he fluttered into the milk vessel and splashed it
all over the room.

The farmer's wife got furious and chased him

out into cold. The duckling went back to the
swamp; he spent a long and lonely winter,
struggling to survive. At last, the snow melted
away. It was spring and the duckling was big
and stronger than before. He flew high in the air,
and he landed by a lovely lake surrounded by
magnificent, white and graceful swans. 
 The ugly duckling thought that if the swans see
him they will also make fun of his appearance.
He was ashamed of himself and bowed his head
low. When he bent his head, he saw his
reflection in the water and was astonished. His
ugly feathers were now snowy white. His neck
was curved and slender. He had grown into a
swan.

The other swans came towards him and stroked

him with their beaks. Nearby children shouted
with joy at the sight of him and threw him some
bread crumbs. He felt very happy to be with his
friends.
