The Ugly Duckling And New Friend
Once upon time, a mother duck sat on her eggs. She 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.

Suatu kala, seekor ibu bebek duduk sedang mengerami telur-telurnya. Dia berharap telur-telur akan
segera menetas. Beberapa hari kemudian, harapannya pun terwujud. Telur itu retak dan beberapa
bebek kecil yang lucu muncul dari dalamnya. “Peep , peep” bebek kecil menangis. “Quack, quack” ibu
bebek mnyambutnya. Akan tetapi satu telur terbesar masih belum menetas. Ibu bebek pun mengerami
lagi selama beberapa hari. Akhirnya, telur terbesar itupun retak dan muncullah seekero itik yang besar
bertampang buruk rupa berjalan tertatih-tatih keluar dari telur itu. Ibu bebek pun menatapnya dengan
heran. Ia begitu besar dan berwarna abu-abu. Ia tidak terlihat seperti saudara lainnya sama sekali. Ia
mirip seperti kalkun.

Ketika ibu bebek membawa anak-anaknya ke kolam untuk belajar renang pertama kalinya. Dia memercik
dan mendayung sama baiknya seperti bebek lainnya. “Dia itu bukan kalkun. Dia adalah anak ku yang
cukup tampan” kata ibunyadengan bangga. Namun, hewan lain tidak setuju. Mereka mendesis dan
mengolok-oloknya hari demi hari. Bahkan saudara-saudara sendiri juga tidak berlaku baik kepadanya.
“Kau sangat jelek” kata mereka. Diapun merasa sangat tidak nyaman. “Aku berharap punya rupa seperti
mereka” pikirnya. Suatu waktu Dia sudah tidak tahan lagi dan berlari, bersembunyi di semak-semak. Dia
merasa sedih dan tinggal sendirian ditengah musim dingin yang bersalju.

Akhirnya musim semipun tiba. Ketika dia sedang berenang di kolam, ada tiga angsa putih besar
berenang ke arahnya. “Astaga. burung itu pasti akan menertawakanku dan mematuk aku juga” katanya
dalam hati. Ternyata angsa itu tidak menyerangnya. Sebaliknya, para angsa itu berenang disekitaranya
dan mengelus-elusnya. Ketika dia sedang membungkukkan lehernya untuk berbicara kepada para angsa
itu, ia melihat bayangannya sendiri didalam air. Diapun tidak bisa percaya apa yang dilihatnya. “Aku
bukanlah si itik buruk rupa tapi aku adalah sekeor angsa yang cantik” serunya.

Dia merasa sangat senang. Sejak hari itu,dia berenang dan bermain dengan teman-teman barunya dan
merasah lebih bahagia dari pada sebelumnya.
