Once upon a time on a big farm, a Mother Duck sat on her nest.

She had to keep her


six eggs warm until they hatched/hatch.

At last, the eggs began to crack. One by one, five yellow ducklings come out of the
eggs. They shook their wings and said, "Quack, quack." Then, they walked/walk
gracefully.

"Look at all of you!" said Mother Duck with joy. "You are all so cute!" She counted
one, two, three, four, five. "Oh, dear! I should have six ducklings!" Mother Duck
was worried.

But one large egg was still in the nest. It was little stubborn. So, Mother Duck sat on
her nest again and waited some more. The next day, the big egg cracked open. A shy
duckling came out. He was not yellow! He was grey and bigger than others. But he
was weak and it walked with a funny wobble.

Each yellow duckling jumped into the river and swam behind Mother Duck. The
Ugly Duckling jumped in and started to paddle, too. "I can swim, Mother!" said the
Ugly Duckling. He was proud.

After swimming, the yellow ducklings started to play. They jumped and splashed in
muddy puddles. They shook their muddy wings and they laughed and laughed.

The Ugly Duckling tried to play with his brothers and sisters, too. "I can jump and
shake my wings!" exclaimed the Ugly Duckling. He was so happy. But, the yellow
ducklings yelled, "Go away!"

The Ugly Duckling walked with his head down. He was sad. The Ugly Duckling
went to his mum and said, "Mom, they don't want to play with me. Am I too ugly?"

"You're different. You are not yellow but grey and brave." Mother Duck tried to
calm him down. But, he was not very pleased to hear it.
