Once there live a Mummy Duck on a farm. She had nested five little eggs and one big egg in her nest. One day, the five little eggs started to crack. ‘Tap, tap, tap!’ came the sound and with the sound came out five pretty, yellow baby ducklings.The next day the big egg started to crack. ‘Bang, bang, bang!’ came the sound and with the sound came out one big, ugly duckling. ‘That’s strange,’ thought Mummy Duck. Because the duckling was big and ugly, nobody wanted to play with him. ‘Go away,’ said his brothers and sisters. ‘You’re ugly and we do not want to play with you!’The ugly duckling was sad. So he set out to find some new friends.‘Go away!’ said the pig.‘Go away!’ said the sheep.‘Go away!’ said the cow.‘Go away!’ said the horse.No one wanted to be his friend because of his ugliness. Winter was around and the duckling felt cold. It started to snow! The ugly duckling found an empty barn and lived there. He was cold, sad and alone. Then after a few months, spring arrived. The ugly duckling left the barn and went back to the pond. He was very thirsty and put his beak into the water. He saw a beautiful, white bird! ‘Wow!’ he said and thought ‘Who’s that?’‘It’s you,’ said another beautiful, white bird. ‘Me? But I’m an ugly duckling.’ said the ugly duckling.‘Not any more. You’re a beautiful swan, like me. Do you want to be my friend?’‘Yes,’ he smiled.All the other animals watched as the two swans flew away, friends forever. Moral:Do not judge anyone by their looks. Always accept everyone for who they are.

THE UGLY DUCKLING

Once upon a time Sammy and his sister Marie visited their grandparents at their farm. Sammy picked up a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for the lunch. As he was walking back he saw Grandma’s pet duck.Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly which hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the pile of woods. Marie had seen it all from the window but she said nothing. After the lunch, the next day Grandma said, “Marie, let’s wash the dishes.” Marie said,“But Grandma, Sammy told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.”Then she whispered to Sammy, “Remember the duck?” Sammy got nervous knowing his sister knew about the duck and if he doesn’t obey, she may tell his grandparents about it. So without saying anything, he did the dishes.Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing but Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Marie to help make a supper.” Marie just smiled and said, “Well that’s all right because Sammy told me he wanted to help.”She whispered again to Sammy, “Remember the duck?” So Marie went fishing and Sammy stayed to help. After several days of Marie taking advantage of Sammy, he finally couldn’t stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, “Sweetheart, I know. I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Marie take advantage of you.” Moral:Always confess of your mistakes. It will take away a load of guilt from your heart and no one will take an advantage of your secret mistakes! Accept your mistake, apologize and seek forgiveness politely.
