The Ugly Duckling

"Well, if it's a turkey," said the goose, "it won't swim."
Mother Duck hurried her ducklings to the pond. She waddled in and
listened. Splash! Splish! Splosh! Splash! Splish! She turned and looked.
All six ducklings followed her in the water.
"Oh, well," she said. "He can swim. He is definitely not a turkey."
The sixth duckling was very good at swimming, and was soon swimming
better than his brothers and sisters.
Back at the farmyard, things did not go well for the little duckling.
Everyone called him an ugly duckling. The chickens laughed at him, the
turkeys chased him and the geese hissed at him.
Soon even his brothers and sisters would not talk to him, but when his
mother turned away, he was very sad. He decided to leave the farmyard.
One sunny morning, he walked out of the farmyard and didn't look back.
He wandered away, looking for somewhere new to live.
When he'd been walking a while he came to a large lake. There were some
ducks swimming on it.
He swam up to them.
"May I stay on this lake?" he asked.
"Of course," said the ducks. "We'll be moving on soon. Why don't you
join us, if you're on your own?"
