Mother Duck lives with her family on a
farm. Mother Duck is sitting on seven eggs waiting for them to hatch.
Then, one by one all the eggs start cracking open. All except one very
big, speckled egg.
Eventually the last egg cracks open. Out
jumps the last baby duck. It is a very ugly duckling.
Mother Duck takes all her baby ducks to
the farm, to swim in the pond. The animals are mean to the ugly duckling.
They laugh at him and make rude comments about him.
One night the ugly duckling decides to
run away.
He goes to the river. He sees many beautiful
swans. Their feathers are so smooth. They have such long, slender necks.
Their wings are so pretty.
And then comes the spring. The sun shines
again and the trees are fresh and green. One morning the ugly duckling
sees the beautiful swans again.
The ugly duckling is very sad. He begins
to cry. He is all alone. He wishes he could look like a swan.
While he is crying he looks down between
his tears. He sees his reflection. He is a beautiful swan! And the swans
call him to come and swim with them.
