The Ugly Duckling

One upon a time, there was a mama duck who had 10 eggs. One day, as she was waiting for her eggs to hatch, she felt something cracking right beneath her... 

Crack. Crack. Crack

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9... Nine eggs hatched. Mama duck eagerly waited for the last egg to hatch. Maybe because this egg was bigger than the others, it took more time to hatch. Buat slowly, the egg cracked, and a duckling came out of the shell. 

The nine duckling were so cute. They looked just like their mother, but the last one looked different. He had a beak that was a little too long, and feathers that were gray and scruffy. His face looked quite different too. You can say, the little duck looked ugly in comparison to his sibling.

But mama duck had promised herself that she would love all her children equally. Months passed by. When she taught her ducklings how to quack, each of the nine duckling were able to do it well. However, when the last duckling tried to quack, it came out croaky. The other nine laughed at him, and the made him feel very sad. To make it even worse, there were two other duck passing by their pond. 

"This one nothing like his brothers and sisters," one of them sneered.

"He sure is ugly," the other one added. They picked on the ugly duck. Mama duck became embarrassed of him so she would ask her youngest duckling to walk in a separate line with his brothers and sisters.

When the night came, and everybody was asleep, the ugly duckling ran away. He waddled from one pond to another pond, one lake to another lake, looking for a warm family to live with. He was determined to escape. 

When he took a rest, a woman suddenly picked him up. 

"just what we're looking was happy. He thought he finally found a family. The couple the took care of him, with the hope that he could lay some eggs for them.

Months passed by. The farmers grew tired of him and decide to put him back in the lake where they found him.
