The Ugly Duckling

The Ugly Duckling

There once was a mother duck who gave birth to six baby ducklings.

One of the ducklings did not look like the others. His brothers and sisters called him ugly and would not play with him. He was sad and alone. 

Weeks went by and the ducklings grew bigger and bigger. The baby ducklings had grown into full grown ducks.

One day the ugly ducking returned to where his brothers and sisters lived. His brothers and sisters gasped in disbelief when they saw him. The ugly duckling was no longer an ugly duckling, but a beautiful swan. His brothers and sisters apologized for being mean to him and the beautiful swan and his family lived happily ever after.
