The Ugly Duckling
A mother duck was brooding on her eggs near the margin of a pond. A flock of lovely baby ducks was soon born, making sweet peeping sounds when the eggs were broken. But one egg remained unbroken. "It is strange. Why has this egg not broken?"
The mother duck continued her brooding. At last, the egg was broken and a baby duck was born. However that baby duck was very ugly compared to the other baby ducks.
The mother duck was worried, but still she took the baby ducks near the water and taught them how to swim. The ugly duckling also swam with his brothers and sisters, moving his legs eagerly. "It is lucky though. That baby swims well." Still his brothers pecked at the ugly duckling with their bills.
"How hideous this baby duck is. We don't want to see you. Go to a cat." His brothers gave a very hard time to the poor duckling. "Stop it, don't do that!" The mother duck sighed and said, "Ah! I wish that this baby could live happily at another place."
The baby duck heard what his mother said and dropped tears of sorrow saying, "Mom, I will leave. Good-bye." The ugly duckling left his nest beyond the pond.
When he entered the forest, other birds were frightened by the baby duck and ran away. "Why do they run away? Is it because I am so awful?" The baby duck became sadder and plodded along the field.
Near the water beside the field, two wild ducks were playing around. "Yah, what is that ugly duck? Let's make fun of him." The two wild ducks flew up in the air and threw stones at the baby duck.
"Bang! Bang!" At that time, a hunter shot his gun. The two wild ducks fell down dead to the ground. "Uh? What is this small bird?" The hunter took home the awkward little baby duck along with the two wild ducks.
"Dad, what is this poor-looking bird?" "I took it with me in order to give it to you, my son. It was trembling with fear in the water." The children gave a hard time to the baby duck by pulling its wings and tail.
"That hurts! Ow!" The baby duck spilled a jug of milk while running away from the cruel hands of the children. The dishes on the table were also broken. The angry hunter sent out the baby duck with a flourish of his broomstick. And so the after being cast out from the house of the hunter, the ugly duckling spent a long and cold winter alone.
Finally spring came. The baby duck had a good stretch and flew up in the air vigorously. "Uh! I am flying!"
Upon the lake, a flock of white and pretty swans were playing around while swimming. "They are indeed pretty birds." The baby duck became sad. "Those birds may not like me as I am so ugly."
The baby duck tried to run away from the group of beautiful swans. "Hi! Where are you going? Come and play around with us!" The baby duck approached the swans hesitatingly. At that moment, the baby duck saw his own appearance reflected to the lake. There was one more beautiful swan gliding gracefully across the water.
The ugly duckling who overcame all suffering had finally become a beautiful swan. And so he lived happily ever after.
一只母鴨在池塘邊孵蛋。一群可愛(ài)的小鴨子很快就出生了，當(dāng)?shù)氨淮蚱频臅r(shí)候，它們發(fā)出了甜美的叫聲。但是有一個(gè)蛋還是完好無(wú)損的。“這是奇怪的。為什么這個(gè)蛋沒(méi)有壞?”
鴨媽媽繼續(xù)著她的沉思。 后，雞蛋破了，一只小鴨子出生了。然而，與其他鴨寶寶相比，這只小鴨子很丑。

“這只小鴨子有多丑啊。”我們不想見(jiàn)你。去一只貓。他的兄弟們給可憐的小鴨一個(gè)很痛苦的時(shí)間。“住手，別這樣!”鴨子?jì)寢寚@了口氣說(shuō):“啊!我希望這個(gè)孩子能在另一個(gè)地方快樂(lè)地生活。
小鴨子聽(tīng)到媽媽說(shuō)的話，掉下了眼淚，說(shuō):“媽媽，我要走了。”再見(jiàn)。丑小鴨離開(kāi)池塘，離開(kāi)了窩。
當(dāng)他走進(jìn)森林時(shí)，其他的鳥被小鴨子嚇壞了，跑掉了。“他們?yōu)槭裁匆优?”是因?yàn)槲姨膳铝藛?小鴨子變得更悲傷，在田野里慢慢地走著。
在田野旁邊的水里，有兩只野鴨在玩耍。“是啊，那只丑陋的鴨子是什么?”我們來(lái)取笑他吧。兩只野鴨飛到空中，向小鴨子扔石頭。
“砰!砰!這時(shí)，一個(gè)獵人射了他的槍。兩只野鴨掉到地上死了。“呃?這只小鳥是什么?獵人帶著兩只野鴨回家了。
“爸爸，這只可憐的鳥是什么?”“我?guī)е�，是為了給你，我的兒子。”它在水中嚇得發(fā)抖。孩子們拽著它的翅膀和尾巴，對(duì)這只小鴨子很不開(kāi)心。
“那傷害!噢!這只小鴨子從孩子們殘忍的手中逃跑時(shí)，把一罐牛奶灑了出來(lái)。桌子上的盤子也破了。憤怒的獵人用他的掃帚柄把小鴨子送出去。因此，在被趕出獵人家后，丑小鴨獨(dú)自度過(guò)了漫長(zhǎng)而寒冷的冬天。

這只小鴨子試圖從那群漂亮的天鵝中逃走。“嗨!你要去哪里?來(lái)和我們一起玩吧!小鴨子遲疑地靠近天鵝。在那一刻，小鴨子看到自己的出現(xiàn)在湖上。還有一只美麗的天鵝優(yōu)雅地滑過(guò)水面。
那些克服一切苦難的丑小鴨終于變成了一只美麗的天鵝。從此，他過(guò)上了幸福的生活。
