- There was a mother duck who hatched her eggs. One
- by one she hatched the most beautiful ducklings.
- She could hardly wait for the last egg to open.
-
- #002
- Finally, the last egg hatched and out popped the ugliest
- duckling the mother duck had ever seen. "What will the
- other animals think?" she thought.

- The next day the mother duck took all her ducklings to
- the barnyard where the animals made fun of the ugly
- duckling.

- After that, the mother duck left the ugly duckling
- behind. Knowing she was embarrassed, the ugly duckling
- ran away.

- The ugly duckling traveled all over the countryside
- looking for a new home. He couldn't find the right
- one.

- took him in to live with her and her two other pets.
-

- The little duck knew he didn't belong there, so he ran
- away again. It was winter now, and the duckling fell
- asleep in the woods.

- The ugly duckling woke up, and it was spring. He
- found a pond with three beautiful swans. He swam up
- to them.

- reflection he noticed something wonderful. He wasn't
- a duck after all but a beautiful swan!

- where he was kind to all the animals, no matter what
- they looked like.
