The Ugly Duckling

Once upon a time, Mummy Duck lived on a farm. In


her nest, she had four little eggs and one big egg.
One day, the four little eggs started to crack. Tap,
tap, tap! Five pretty, yellow baby ducklings came out.

Then the big egg started to crack. Bang, bang, bang!


One big, ugly duckling came out.
‘That’s so strange,’ thought Mummy Duck.

The cute ducks were mean to


their ugly brother. They always
pecked at him
‘Go away,’ said his brothers and
sisters. ‘You’re ugly! We don’t want
to play with you!’
The ugly duckling was sad. So he went to find some
new friends. After a while he met some geese
“Do you want to be friends with me?” asked the ugly
duckling

But the geese was as just mean as the ducks.


“You are ugly. Go away!”

No one wanted to be his friend. It started to


get cold. It started to snow! The ugly
duckling found an empty barn and lived there.
He was cold, sad and alone.
Then spring came. The ugly duckling left the barn
and went back to the pond. A swan swarm over and
spoke to him.
“Why are you so shy?” he asked.
“Because I am ugly” said the ugly duckling.

The swan laughed, “Have you looked in a


mirror lately?”
The ugly duckling looked into the water He
saw a beautiful, white bird!
‘Wow!’ he said. ‘Who’s that?’
‘Not any more. You’re a beautiful swan, like me.
Do you want to be my friend?’ said the swan
‘Yes,’ smiled the ugly duckling now a beautiful
swan

From that day on, the once ugly duckling lived


happily ever after.
And he always kinds to all animals he met.
