Narrator The ugly duckling looked for someone to play with. He went to the farm pond. Ugly Duckling Will you swim with me? Ducks No, you are too ugly. Ugly Duckling No one will play with me. I am too ugly. Mother Duck You do not look like my other ducklings, but I am your mother, and I love you. Narrator But the ugly duckling was not happy. So he flew away to a small pond. Time passed, and the ugly duckling grew up. His wings were wider. His neck was longer. His feathers had turned white. He had changed, but he did not know it. Then one day, two big white birds f lew over the pond. Ugly Duckling What beautiful birds! I hope they stop to visit. I am lonely.
