The Ugly Duckling
It was summer and everything was green.Flowers grew and a Mother Duck was sittting in her nest.After a long time ,she grew tired."How much longer must I sit?"She asked herself again and again.
At thes time one of her old friends from the farm came to see her.
When Mother Duck showed her eggs to her ,"You have another egg.It looked like a turkey egg because it was twice as big as any of the others!"
Afer her friend went home,Mother Duck went bavk to the nest.She was very happy because the eggs began to crack,one by one,and she soon hadsix yellow ducklings .
"What lovely children!"Mother Duck went back said aloud."All are good and full of power ----just like me when I was young!I will have to give them some nice names."There was now only the big strange egg in the nest.When it finally opened,Mother Duck was very upset.
She cried when she saw the youngest child."He isn't my child.He is too big and ugly!"
The next day Mother Duck went to the river.Soon all her babies swam well after her and she was very happy.To her surprise,the Ugly Duckling was a good swimmer.
