“The Ugly Duckling”
A little
duckling was terribly unhappy because he thought he was the ugliest amongst all
his brothers and sisters. They’d not play with him and titillated the poor ugly
duckling. One day, he saw his reflection within the water and cried, “Nobody
likes me. I’m so ugly.” He decided to go away from home and went far-off into
the woods.
Deep
within the forest, he saw a cottage in which there lived an old lady, her hen,
and her cat. The duckling stayed with them for a few times however he was sad
there and shortly left. Once the winter set in, the poor duckling nearly froze
to death. A peasant took him home to his woman and kids. The poor duckling was
afraid of the kids and escaped. The ugly duckling spent the winter in a very
marshy lake.
Finally,
spring arrived. One day, the duckling saw a gorgeous swan swimming within the
lake and fell in love with her. Then again he remembered how everybody made fun
of him and he bent his head down in shame. Once he saw his own reflection in
the water he was astonished. He wasn’t an unsightly duckling any longer, but a
handsome young swan! Now, he knew why he had looked so completely different
from his brothers and sisters. “They were ducklings but I used to be a baby
swan!” he said to himself. He married the gorgeous swan and lived happily ever
once.
