　　The Ugly Duckling

　　Long ago, in a farmyard many miles away, a Mother Duck sat on her nest. She was waiting for her eggs to hatch. Each day she proudly looked at them. There were six eggs, which meant six little ducklings to teach to swim.

　　One sunny spring morning, the first egg began to crack..

　　\'Tap, tap, tap,\' went the duckling inside, trying to get out. Mother Duck watched as the egg cracked open and out popped a fluffy duckling.

　　"One," said Mother Duck proudly.

　　The next day, the second egg hatched and out popped another fluffy duckling.

　　"Two," said Mother Duck proudly.

　　On the third day, duckling number three hatched.

　　"That leaves just three," said Mother Duck.

　　On the fourth and fifth day, ducklings number four and five hatched.

　　"That leaves just one," said Mother Duck, as she settled on her nest. Her ducklings gathered around her.

　　But on the sixth day nothing happened. Nor on the seventh.

　　"How strange," said Mother Duck on the seventh day. "It should have hatched by now."

　　One of the farmyard chickens wandered by.

　　"Oh," she said. "You\'re still there I thought you\'d be on the pond by now."

　　"It\'s this last egg," said Mother Duck. "It hasn\'t hatched yet."

　　"Let me see," said the chicken. "Well no wonder. It looks like a goose egg to me. You\'ll be here for a long time."

　　"Oh dear," said Mother Duck. "I have my five little ducklings to teach to swim. What shall I do? I can\'t leave it."

　　"Aah well," said the chicken, and she wandered off.

　　The goose heard that one of her eggs was in Mother Duck\'s nest.

　　"Is it true?" she asked, as she puffed up to the nest. "Do you have one of my eggs?"

　　"I think so," said Mother Duck. They both looked in the nest.

　　"Huh," said the goose. "That\'s not mine. It looks more like that absent-minded turkey\'s egg."

　　As they looked, they suddenly heard the faint tapping. The shell was breaking.

　　"We\'ll soon see," said the goose.

　　They watched and waited.

　　"Oh," said the goose.

　　"Oh, dear," said Mother Duck, as she looked at the sixth duckling. It looked most strange, it was straggly and grey where its brothers and sisters were fluffy and yellow. It was also bigger than them.

　　It quacked as it saw its mother.

　　"Well, if it\'s a turkey," said the goose, "it won\'t swim."

　　Mother Duck hurried her ducklings to the pond. She waddled in and listened. Splash! Splish! Splosh! Splash! Splish! She turned and looked. All six ducklings followed her in the water.

　　"Oh, well," she said. "He can swim. He is definitely not a turkey."

　　The sixth duckling was very good at swimming, and was soon swimming better than his brothers and sisters.

　　Back at the farmyard, things did not go well for the little duckling. Everyone called him an ugly duckling. The chickens laughed at him, the turkeys chased him and the geese hissed at him.

　　Soon even his brothers and sisters would not talk to him, but when his mother turned away, he was very sad. He decided to leave the farmyard.

　　One sunny morning, he walked out of the farmyard and didn\'t look back. He wandered away, looking for somewhere new to live.

　　When he\'d been walking a while he came to a large lake. There were some ducks swimming on it.

　　He swam up to them.

　　"May I stay on this lake?" he asked.

　　"Of course," said the ducks. "We\'ll be moving on soon. Why don\'t you join us, if you\'re on your own?"

　　"Thank you," said the duckling.

　　The duckling stayed on the lake and day by day he grew bigger. One day he looked up to see some large white birds flying gracefully over the lake.

　　"They\'re beautiful," he whispered, and then sighed. "I wonder who they are?"

　　One day the ducks came to see him.

　　"It\'s autumn, and we\'re going now," they told him, "join us if you want to."

　　Some ducks began to fly up to leave, but suddenly loud bangs were heard. Two of the ducks fell from the sky. Others flew up in fright, and more fell as more bangs were heard.

　　The duckling ran and hid. He found a bush and stayed there until the noise had died down. When it was quiet he sadly left the lake and headed away over the fields.

　　He came to another lake and there he stayed. Winter was coming and he was alone. As the days grew colder, he found that it was harder to find food.

　　The one morning he woke and found that he couldn\'t move. The lake had frozen and he was stuck in the ice. The day passed and the duckling was giving up hope of being found. But late in the afternoon a man walking his dog saw him. He broke the ice, and the duckling was free. He ran across the ice and hid. He didn\'t dare to go on the ice again.

　　Winter passed, spring came, and the ice melted.

　　The duckling stretched his wings and found that they were strong enough to carry him. He flew upon and over the lake, high above the trees and fields. He should have been very happy, but he was not because he felt so lonely.

　　A few days later, he looked up to see the large white birds he had seen in the autumn. They looked beautiful as they landed on the lake. The duckling admired their glossy white feathers and long necks. He swan over to take a closer look at them.

　　"Please," he said shyly. "Will you tell me who you are. You are so beautiful and I am so ugly. I\'ve never seen anybody like you."

　　"Ugly," cried one of the white birds. "How silly!"

　　"We\'re swans," said another. "Why do you think you\'re ugly? Look at yourself in the water."

　　The duckling looked and caught sight of his own reflection. He gasped in surprise, for instead of seeing a fat, grey duckling he saw a swan with a long elegant neck and a bright orange bill. "I\'m like you," he cried. "I\'m a swan, too."

　　"Definitely," said the swan, with a smile.

　　"Does that mean I can stay with you, and not live alone?"

　　"Of course," said the swans.

　　At that moment two children ran down to the lake. "Ooh, look!" they cried. "The swans are back and there\'s a new one, too. Isn\'t he beautiful!"

　　The ugly duckling stretched his neck and ruffled his feathers with pride.

　　Then it was time to go flying with all of the other swans and, as the duckling took off from the lake, he could see his new beautiful reflection in the water.

　　美丽的乡间农舍，一只母鸭寂寞地卧在它的窝里，孵化自已的孩子。终于，那些鸭蛋一个接一个地裂开了，“僻!僻!”鸭蛋叫起来，井伸出了它们的小头。瞧!这些小家伙多么活泼，睁着好奇的眼睛正四下张望。只有一只蛋还躺在那儿，没有一点儿动静。

　　“这一个蛋费的时间真久!”母鸭开始抱怨。

　　“这是一只吐绶鸡的蛋!让它躺在那儿吧。你尽管先教别的孩子去游泳好了。”一只来访的老母鸭这样劝着。

　　但是鸭妈妈还是坚持着把蛋孵了出来。这只小鸭又大又丑，不过游起水来倒还漂亮。鸭妈妈因此稍感欣慰，井盼望它会慢慢长得漂亮点。

　 　可是新的生活一开始，这只最后从蛋壳里爬出的丑小鸭处处挨啄，受排挤、被讥笑，不仅在鸭中是如此，连在鸡群中也是这样。后来的情形一天比一天更糟。大家 都要赶走这只可怜的小鸭连它自已的兄弟姐妹也对它生起气来。于是妈妈也说：“我希望你走远些!”鸭儿们啄它，小鸡们打它，喂鸡鸭的那个女佣人也用脚踢它。 于是它闭起眼睛悲哀地逃，逃到一块住着许多野鸭的沼泽地，又逃到一间老太婆和猫儿居住的农舍，结果还是一样地受歧视，嫌它不会“眯眯”叫，小鸭苦闷极了， 自个儿在水中钻来钻去，秋天时冻得“呱呱”直叫。

　　一天傍晚，薄暮低垂，一群美丽的天鹅从灌木林里飞出来，小鸭从未见过这么美丽的鸟，看着它们飞走了，既茫然又羡慕，心中油然涌出一种深深的爱，好像它从未爱过什么似的。

　 　冬天来了，终于有一天小鸭昏倒了，一个农夫把他抱回家去送给了他的妻子，可是它又闯祸了，农去的妻子要用火钳打它，它鼓起翅膀飞走了，飞进了一座大花 园，在这里它又遇见了美丽的天鹅。小鸭突然忧郁地想：“我要飞向它们，飞向这些高贵的鸟儿!即使被它们打死，也总比让那些欺负自已的动物咬、啄要好受得 多。”于是它又飞到水里，向美丽的天鹅游去。

　　“请你们把我弄死吧!”可怜的小鸭说。它低低地把头垂到水上，只等着一死。

　　但是，当它在清撤的水画看到自已的倒影，再也不是一只粗笨的，深灰色的，又丑又令人讨厌的鸭子了，而是—只天鹅时，它恍然大彻大悟。

　　只要是只天鹅蛋，即使生活在鸡窝里，又有什么关系呢?

　　孩子们向它撒画包片、麦粒，许多大天鹅在它周围游泳，用嘴吻它，它感到非常幸福，快乐地想：“当我还是一个丑小鸭的时候，我做梦也没想到会有这么幸福!”
