A little duckling was very sad because he thought he was the ugliest amongst all his brothers and

sisters. They would not play with him and teased the poor ugly duckling. One day, he saw his
reflection in the water and cried, Nobody likes me. I am so ugly. He decided to leave home and
went far away into the woods.
Deep in the forest, he saw a cottage in which there lived an old woman, her hen, and her cat. The
duckling stayed with them for some time but he was unhappy there and soon left. When winter set
in the poor duckling almost froze to death. A peasant took him home to his wife and children. The
poor duckling was terrified of the children and escaped. The ugly duckling spent the winter in a
marshy pond.
Finally, spring arrived. One day, the duckling saw a beautiful swan swimming in the pond and fell
in love with her. But then he remembered how everyone made fun of him and he bent his head
down in shame. When he saw his own reflection in the water he was astonished. He was not an
ugly duckling anymore, but a handsome young swan! Now, he knew why he had looked so
different from his brothers and sisters. They were ducklings but I was a baby swan! he said to
himself.
He married the beautiful swan and lived happily ever after.

Sebuah itik kecil sangat sedih karena dia pikir dia adalah paling jelek di antara
semua saudara-saudaranya. Mereka tidak akan bermain dengan dia dan
menggoda itik buruk rupa yang buruk. Suatu hari, ia melihat bayangannya di air
dan menangis, "Tidak ada yang menyukaiku. Saya sangat jelek. "Dia
memutuskan untuk meninggalkan rumah dan pergi jauh ke dalam hutan.
Jauh di dalam hutan, ia melihat sebuah pondok di mana hiduplah seorang wanita
tua, ayam, dan kucingnya. Itik yang tinggal bersama mereka selama beberapa
waktu tetapi ia tidak senang di sana dan segera meninggalkan. Ketika musim
dingin ditetapkan dalam itik miskin hampir mati kedinginan. Seorang petani
membawanya pulang ke istri dan anak-anaknya. Itik miskin takut anak-anak dan
melarikan diri. Itik buruk rupa menghabiskan musim dingin di kolam berawa.
Akhirnya, musim semi tiba. Suatu hari, bebek yang melihat angsa berenang
indah di kolam dan jatuh cinta padanya. Tapi kemudian ia ingat bagaimana
semua orang menertawakan dia dan dia menunduk ke bawah karena malu.
Ketika ia melihat bayangannya sendiri di air ia tercengang. Dia bukan seorang
itik buruk rupa lagi, tapi angsa muda yang tampan! Sekarang, ia tahu mengapa
ia tampak begitu berbeda dari saudara-saudaranya. "Mereka bebek tapi aku
angsa bayi!" Katanya pada dirinya sendiri.
Ia menikah angsa indah dan hidup bahagia selamanya.

Ini adalah hari musim panas yang indah. Matahari bersinar hangat di sebuah
rumah tua dekat sungai. Di belakang rumah bebek ibu duduk di sepuluh telur.
"Tebal." Satu per satu semua telur pecah terbuka.
Semua kecuali satu. Yang satu ini adalah telur terbesar dari semua.
Bebek ibu duduk dan duduk di telur besar. Akhirnya istirahat terbuka, "Tchick,
tchick!"
Keluar melompat bebek bayi terakhir. Ini terlihat besar dan kuat. Ini adalah abuabu dan jelek.
Bebek hari ibu harinya mengambil semua bebek kecilnya ke sungai. Dia
melompat ke dalamnya. Semua bebek bayinya melompat. The itik buruk rupa
besar melompat terlalu.
Mereka semua berenang dan bermain bersama. Itik buruk rupa berenang lebih
baik dari semua bebek lainnya.
- Kwek kwek! Datang dengan saya ke halaman peternakan! - Kata bebek ibu ke
bayi bebek dan mereka semua mengikuti sana.
Itik buruk rupa
Pertanian yard sangat bising. Itik miskin begitu bahagia di sana. Ayam mematuk
dia, ayam terbang ke arahnya, bebek menggigitnya, petani menendang dia.
Akhirnya suatu hari dia melarikan diri. Dia datang ke sungai. Dia melihat banyak
burung besar yang indah berenang di sana. Bulu mereka begitu putih, leher
mereka begitu lama, sayap mereka begitu cantik. Itik sedikit terlihat dan melihat
mereka. Dia ingin bersama mereka. Dia ingin tinggal dan menonton mereka. Dia
tahu mereka angsa. Oh, bagaimana dia ingin menjadi cantik seperti mereka.
Sekarang musim dingin. Semuanya putih dengan salju. Sungai ditutupi dengan
es. Itik buruk rupa sangat dingin dan tidak bahagia.
Musim semi datang sekali lagi. Matahari bersinar hangat. Semuanya segar dan
hijau.
Suatu pagi itik buruk rupa melihat angsa yang indah lagi. Dia tahu mereka. Dia
sangat ingin berenang dengan mereka di sungai. Tapi dia takut pada mereka. Dia
ingin mati. Jadi ia berjalan ke sungai. Dia tampak ke dalam air. Ada di dalam air
ia melihat angsa yang indah. Ini dia! Dia tidak lebih itik buruk
rupa. Dia adalah angsa putih yang indah.

It is a beautiful summer day. The sun shines warmly on an old house near a
river. Behind the house a mother duck is sitting on ten eggs. "Tchick." One by
one all the eggs break open.
All except one. This one is the biggest egg of all.
Mother duck sits and sits on the big egg. At last it breaks open, "Tchick,
tchick!"
Out jumps the last baby duck. It looks big and strong. It is grey and ugly.
The next day mother duck takes all her little ducks to the river. She jumps into
it. All her baby ducks jump in. The big ugly duckling jumps in too.
They all swim and play together. The ugly duckling swims better than all the
other ducklings.
- Quack, quack! Come with me to the farm yard! - says mother duck to her
baby ducks and they all follow her there.
The farm yard is very noisy. The poor duckling is so unhappy there. The hens
peck him, the rooster flies at him, the ducks bite him, the farmer kicks him.
At last one day he runs away. He comes to a river. He sees many beautiful big
birds swimming there. Their feathers are so white, their necks so long, their
wings so pretty. The little duckling looks and looks at them. He wants to be
with them. He wants to stay and watch them. He knows they are swans. Oh,
how he wants to be beautiful like them.
Now it is winter. Everything is white with snow. The river is covered with ice.
The ugly duckling is very cold and unhappy.
Spring comes once again. The sun shines warmly. Everything is fresh and
green.

One morning the ugly duckling sees the beautiful swans again. He knows
them. He wants so much to swim with them in the river. But he is afraid of
them. He wants to die. So he runs into the river. He looks into the water. There
in the water he sees a beautiful swan. It is he! He is no more an ugly duckling.
He is a beautiful white swan.
