The Ugly Duckling

Name: _________________________
Fun with Mama

Once upon a time there was a mother duck. She

was waiting patiently for her eggs to hatch.
 Fun with Mama

One day, she felt something move beneath her. Her

eggs were starting to hatch. All of the eggs
hatched, except one. This one was larger than the
rest.
Fun with Mama

She continued to sit on this egg, until at last it

began to start breaking. Out of the large egg,
popped a large, strange looking bird that was grey
and ugly.
 Fun with Mama

Anyways, the mother duck promised that she would

love all her children the same. The next day, she led
her children to a nearby pond.
Fun with Mama

They all swim and play together. The ugly duckling is a

better swimmer than the other ducklings. Then the
mother duck decided it was time to introduce her children
to the farmyard.
 Fun with Mama

When they met some other ducks, one flew out and
bit the ugly duckling on the neck. The poor ugly
duckling continued to be bitten, pushed and made
fun of by everyone, except his mother.
Fun with Mama

The poor ugly duckling was miserable. The teasing

went on everyday until at last, he decided to run
away. He kept going until he came to a large moor
that was inhabited by wild ducks.
 Fun with Mama

The ducks at this moor told him he was ugly. One day
hunters came and shot down a lot of the ducks. This
frightened the ugly duckling.
Fun with Mama

He hid until it went quiet and then took off again.

next, he arrived at an old cottage. An old woman,
her cat and hen lived there. The hen and the cat
also teased him, so he took off again.
 Fun with Mama

He stopped when he found a pond. He swam and

dived but was avoided by all the other animals. Fall
came and went. Then one cold, winter evening a
flock of birds rested on the pond.
Fun with Mama

They were beautiful swans with graceful necks and

soft, white plumage. After a short time, these
swans headed off. The ugly duckling wished he
could be as lovely as these birds.
 Fun with Mama

It was getting colder and the pond was freezing

over. It finally froze over, with the poor ugly duckling
stuck fast in the ice.
Fun with Mama

He was rescued by a farmer who took him home,

but the poor ugly duckling is frightened by their
noises, so he runs away.
Fun with Mama

He endured a hard, lonely winter. When one day, he

felt the warm sun shining on him. Spring was here!
His wings were strong now and he flapped his way
to the pond to see if he could find the beautiful
swans.
Fun with Mama

As he lands on the water to meet the swans, he

looks down at the water and sees his reflection. He
is amazed at what he sees. He is no longer an ugly,
grey duckling, but a beautiful swan.
 Fun with Mama

He was grateful for his experiences. It enabled him

to enjoy the happiness around him so much better.
Some children came down to the pond to feed the
swans cake and bread.
Fun with Mama

They noticed the new swan and couldnt stop talking

about how beautiful he was. He had once been an
ugly duckling, persecuted and despised for his
ugliness, but now he was the most beautiful of all
the birds. He had found a family who accepted him.
He was such a happy swam!
