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.
