The Ugly Duckling

 Once upon time, a mother duck sat on her eggs. She felt tired of
sitting on them. She just wished the eggs would break out. Several days
later, she got her wish. The eggs cracked and some cute little ducklings
appeared. "Peep, peep" the little ducklings cried. "Quack, quack" their
mother greeted in return.
However, the largest egg had not cracked. The mother duck sat on it
for several days. Finally, it cracked, and a huge ugly duckling waddled out.
The mother duck looked at him in surprise. He was so big and very gray. He
didn't look like the others at all. He was like a turkey.
When the mother duck brought the children to the pond for their first
swimming lesson, the huge grey duckling splashed and paddled about just
as nicely as the other ducklings did. "That is not a turkey chick. He is my
very own son and quite handsome" the mother said proudly.
However, the other animals didn't agree. They hissed and made fun of
him day by day. Even his own sisters and brothers were very unkind. "You
are very ugly" they quacked. The little poor duckling was very unhappy. "I
wish I looked like them" he thought to himself. One day, the ugly duckling
run away and hid in the bushes. The sad duckling lived alone through the
cold and snow winter.
Finally, the spring flowers began to bloom. While he was swimming in
the pond, he saw three large white swans swimming toward him. "Oh, dear.
these beautiful birds will laugh and peck me too" he said to himself. But the
swans did not attack him. Instead, they swam around him and stroked him
with their bills. As the ugly duckling bent his neck to speak to them, he saw
his reflection in the water. He could not believe his eyes. "I am not an ugly
duckling but a beautiful swan" he exclaimed. He was very happy. From that
day on, he swam and played with his new friends and was happier than he
had never been. From this story we can conclude that we may not judge
other people from the cover.

The Purse of Gold

A beggar found a leather purse that someone had dropped in a

marketplace. Opening it, he discovered that it contained 100 pieces of gold.
Then he heard a merchant shouted, "A reward! A reward to the one who find
my leather purse!"
Being an honest man, the beggar came forward and handed the purse
to the merchant saying, "Here is your purse. Will you keep your word to give
a reward now?"

9
 "Reward?" scoffed the merchant greedily counting the amount of gold.
"The purse I dropped had 200 pieces of gold in it. Youve already stolen more
than the reward I’ll give to you.! Go away or I’ll tell you to the police."
"I’m an honest man," said the beggar defiantly. "Let’s take this matter
to the court!" In the court, the judge patiently listened to both sides of the
story and said, "I believe you both. Justice is possible! Merchant, you stated
that the purse you lost contained 200 pieces of gold.
Well, that’s a considerable cost. But the purse the beggar found had
only 100 pieces of gold. Therefore, it couldn’t be the one you lost. “And, with
that, the judge gave the purse and all the gold to the beggar.
