Ugly Duckling

It was a bright summer afternoon, Mother Duck found a Lovely spot under a tree by the pond to lay
her eggs. She laid five eggs. Suddenly she noticed that one of the eggs was different from the other eggs.
She got a little worried. She waited for them to hatch.

One fine morning, at last, one after another, the eggs began to crack. "Peep, peep." They said. All the
eggs had come alive and the ducklings were poking their heads out into the big world. All broke except
one. "Oh what sweet babies I have! What a lucky mother I am!! But what happened to the Fifth one?"
The Duck was worried. This last egg is taking such a long time.

She sat on the egg and gave it all the warmth that it could give. "This would be the most beautiful
duckling of all since this is taking so much time to hatch."

One fine morning, when the egg broke, there came out an ugly grey colored duckling. "Peep, peep."
This duckling was different from its other siblings. It was very big and rather ugly. "None of my other
duckling look like that. This one is perhaps ugly." The mother duck was suprised to see her and was very
sad. Mother hoped that one day she would become just like him siblings.

But days went by and the duckling remained ugly. All her brothers and sisters made fun of the
duckling. And they would not play with him. The duckling was very sad.

"You are ugly"

"Look at that ugly little thing one the earth."

"Yaa. Go away. You're so ugly."

"We will not play with you, you ugly monster."

They all laughed at him. The ugly duckling was really sad. The ugly duckling went to the pond and
looked at his reflection in the pond. "Nobody likes me, I am so ugly!" The duckling decided to leave the
family and go somewhere deep into the woods.
The duckling wandered all alone in the deep forest. Soon when winters came by. There was snow all
around. The duckling was sad and he shivered with cold but couldn't find any food to eat or a warm
place to be in.

He went to a family of ducks. They rejected him.

"You are an ugly chap."

"Who is this ugly fellow?"

He went to stay in the hen's house. There the hens pecked him with their beaks, so he ran away. He
met a dog the way. The dog saw him and went away. The ugly duckling thought to himself. "I'm so ugly
that even the dog doesn't want to eat me."

The ugly duckling sadly started wandering in the woods again. There he met a peasant who took him
home to his wife and children. But even there he was troubled by the cat that lived there. So he left the
peasant's house.

Soon it was spring, everything was fresh and green once again. Walking and walking, he saw a river. He
was so happy to see the water again. He went close to the river where he saw a beautiful swam
swimming. He fell in love with her. The duckling was ashamed of himself and bowed his head low.

When he bent his head, He saw his own reflection in the water and was astonished. He wasn't ugly
anymore, He had turney into a handsome young swan. Now he realized why he looked different from his
siblings because he was a swan and they were ducks. He married the beautiful swan that the had fallen
in love with and happily lived ever after.
