Story : Ugly Duckling

It was a beautiful summer. Mother duck was waiting for her eggs to hatch. She got five white beautiful eggs, but she always wondered, about the sixth egg, which is bigger than other eggs and of grey colour.
 
After few days, eggs were hatched and five soft, beautiful yellow ducklings came out. The bigger egg hatched after a long time, and a ugly grey coloured duckling was came from that. Every body was making fun of him. They always used to say "Ugly.. ugly", nobody was ready to play with him. Ugly duckling felt very sad.

On a beautiful morning, mother duck took her ducklings down to the water. After some time, mother duck visits a farm, and every body of that farm said, "see, how ugly he is" and even if his own brothers and sisters also rejected him, saying "you are too ugly"

Little ugly ducking could not understood, why all of them, called him ugly....ugly..,was he different? He saw his shadow, and said, "oh, no, I am really ugly".

So, one day he left the farm, moved far away. But outer world was not good to him, everywhere he had to hear "gate out from here, you are ugly". He was very weak and tired. One kind man gave him shelter, but his naughty boy threw stones at him.

Time passes, and winter came, lake was covered with ice, it was so cold, that he was about to die. It was very tough time for him. But,it was nice, when spring came. His wings were bigger, his body was larger. He could even fly.

One day he saw few beautiful white birds with big wings. He whispered, "I am ugly, they will not take me with them, they are beautiful swans". But, suddenly he saw his shadow, wow!! it was a swan, he was so happy that he was not a "ugly duckling", but a baby swan.

He was having the longest and strongest wings, the most beautiful swan among all the swans of the lake. Ugly duckling became a beautiful swan. He got many friends and lived happily ever after.
