The Ugly Duckling

Once upon a time , in an old farm , lived a duck family , and


Mother Duck was sitting on a clutch of new eggs and Father Duck
waiting beside it.
A nice morning , the eggs hatch and out popped four ducks chirpy . But
the egg is larger than the others , and it did not hatch . TOCK ! TOCK !
Prisoners little peck in the shell .
"Did I count the eggs wrongly?" Mother Duck wondered.
But before she had time to think about it, the last egg finally hatched. A strange
looking duckling with gray feathers that should have been yellow gazed at a worried
mother.
Father Duck was very shock when he looks at him new child, then, he leaved Mother
Duck. He was so angry to her. Mother Duck bring the four chirpy ducklings to the river.
The ugly duckling followed them and did what the four chirpy duckling do.
"I can't understand how this ugly duckling can be one of mine!" she said to herself.
Well, the gray duckling certainly wasn't pretty, and since he ate far more than his
brothers, he was outgrowing them. As the days went by, the poor ugly duckling became
more and more unhappy. His brothers didn't want to play with him, he was so clumsy, and
all the farmyard folks simply laughed at him. He felt sad and lonely, while Mother Duck
did her best to console him.
"Poor little ugly duckling!" she would say. "Why are you so different from the
others?" And then, The Mother Duck and the four chirpy ducklings leave him alone. He
looked himself in the river. He so very shocked, when he looked at his face. And he felt
worse than ever. He walks alone, and looked at The Mother Duck and the four chirpy
duckling, he felt nobody wanted him.
"Nobody loves me, they all tease me! Why am I different from my brothers?"
Then one day, at sunrise, he ran away from the farmyard. He stopped at a pond and
began to joined with the family of birds. But, a few minutes later, the Mother Bird came.
She chase away the Ugly Duckling, until the ugly duckling fell to the river.
The ugly duckling did not lose heart, however, and kept on making inquiries. In the
river, he met a robot of father duck, he think it was the father duck. As a robot, of course
it just silent, when the ugly duckling did anything on it. He kissed, played, swing and sat
on it. The ugly duckling flung away to forward. And make the robot nods like to ate him.
He hide behind a grass, avoid from the robot of father duck. As soon. The robot of father
duck gone and follows the river's flow. He was very sad, because he think the father duck
was hate him and had same opinion with mother duck, if he was very ugly, so he leave
the ugly duckling alone.
The ufly duckling walked alone, in edge of river. And then, he looked to the river.
Look himself on it. He was so very sad when saw himself mirrored in the water. Why
am I so different with my brothers? and he cried again.
When the ugly duckling sat on the edge of river. An Swan family pass by the river.
They looked at the ugly duckling. One of the chirpy Swan said, Look at that. Is he our
friend? Why he looks so sad? One by one, the chirpy Swan come close to the Ugly
Duckling.
The Mother just silent and waited for her children when the children come close to
the ugly duckling. They saying hello and tried to make the ugly duckling happy. The ugly
duckling shocked, when he looked to the river, because there were four chirpy Swan,
which just like with him. He wipe off his eyes and then, played with them on the river.
And then, Mother Swan called her children. She wanted to went home. The ugly
duckling go away from them, but the chirpy Swan called and invited him to join with
them. The mother Swan hug hin, and then, he followed his new family.
He looked at the edge of river. There were the duck family. They also looked at him
and let the duck family looked at him and knew his new family. And one of them said,
Look at that! He is the ugly duckling. He is the young swan! He's the finest of them
all!.
At the end, the ugly duckling happy with his family ever.
