3. The Ugly Duckling

4. One bright spring morning, a mother
duck sat on her eggs for a long time.

5. After a while, one by one, ducklings
came out of the eggs.
"Cheep! Cheep!", "Cheep! Cheep!".

6. Mother duck was very proud of her
ducklings - but one of them looked
different from the others.

7. "Quack. quack. How can that duckling be one of mine. " she wondered
"Quack! quack! How can that duckling be one of mine?" she wondered. "He's so big and ugly!"

8. All the other ducklings were mean
and teased Sammy, the ugly duckling.
They didn't want to play with him.

9. Poor Sammy was very sad. "I don't
belong here," he said.

10. One day he packed his bags and
left home to find someone to be his
friend.

11. Soon he met some other ducks who
were playing. But they didn't want to
be his friends either.

12. Poor Sammy was very unhappy and
went away.

13. The next day an old woman saw the
ugly duckling. "I think I'll cook him
for my dinner," she said. She tried to
catch him but Sammy ran away as fast
as he could.

14. Poor Sammy was so sad that he hid
himself by the riverbank all through
the summer.

15. One day he watched some beautiful
swans fly past him. "I wish I were as
beautiful as a swan," he sighed.

16. That winter, it began to snow. Sammy
was cold and all alone.

17. Soon a kind farmer found him and
decided to take him home and look
after him. "At long last I've found a
friend," smiled Sammy.

18. When the spring came, the farmer
took Sammy back to the river.

19. Sammy bent his head down to the
surface of the water, what did he see?
"I'm not an ugly duckling any more.
I'm a beautiful swan!" he cheered.

20. Three other swans swam to him and
welcomed him.

21. "Look, there is another swan!" said
the children in the town. "This new
one is the most beautiful of all."

22. Sammy was so happy. He was more
beautiful than he had ever hoped to
be. And now, he knew where he
belonged.
