The title is “The Ugly Duckling”.
This story is popular in Japan and when I was child, I had read it.
Mother duck has six eggs and five eggs were small and white, but the sixth egg was huge!
From five eggs came out the ducklings smoothly. From huge egg came out very large and very ugly duckling.
The ugly Duckling was always laughted.
When mother duck took her duckling to the farmyard, the farmboy shooed The Ugly Duckling away.
“Nobody wants me, I'm too ugly”, said The Ugly Duckling.
When he came to a dreat swamp but there were hunting people and dogs. So, The Ugly Duckling ran asa fast as he could and he reached an old house, but he couldn't stay here.
Finally he became alone. One evening he saw the duckling had never seen anything so beautiful.
They were swans.
Seasons had change, when spring came, The Ugly Duckling raised his wing. He became the most beautiful one of all.
That all. Thank you for reading.
see you next time. (166 words)
