It was summer days and there was a duck sitting on eggs on bank of a pond. She knew that innocent and tiny ducklings will come out of the eggs. At last, the ducklings come from the eggs, as they took out their heads from the eggs, but the largest egg was still not broken. When it started getting cracks, the duck lamented that the duckling was not pretty like other ducklings, it was ugly and black. But the duck used to care all the ducklings in same way and teach them to swim. But the ugly duckling was not able to learn swimming. The duck thought when he will grow bigger, he will learn it himself. The time passed by but the duckling remained the same. Other animals and his siblings kept on making fun of him and he remained sad. At last, one day his mother asked him to go to the jungle and live with other ducks like him as he will stay happy there. So he went to the jungle. It turned night on the way and was getting scared. He reached in the area of ducks and saw there were hunters wandering here and there with their dogs and hunting tools. He hided himself into the bushes and when the hunters crossed the areas, he ran away and reached to a snowy area which was too cold. He was about to die than a farmer took him to his house and his kids become too happy to see the duck. They put him near fire and gave him food. But he thought that these kids will also make fun of me and he ran away and reached to the area of spring where there flowers every where. The duck reached to a stream where long neck birds were swimming and he also swim with them. He saw his reflection in the water and recalled that how the kids of farmers gave him a bath and how they cared for him. He planned to go back to them and reached their house. The kids started clapping after looking at him and till then the duck started living with them. And he never considered himself ugly any more.
