The Ugly Duckling

A farmer had a duck, which laid ten eggs. Soon, they all hatched. Of the ten, nine ducklings
looked like the mom. The tenth one was big, gray and ugly. All the other ducklings made fun
of the ugly one. Unhappy on the farm, the poor duckling ran away to a river nearby. There he
sees white, beautiful swans. Afraid and lost, he wanted to drown in the river. But when he
looked at his reflection in the river, he realized that he was not an ugly duckling, but a
beautiful swan!
