The Ugly Duckling

Part 1 ( Bagian 1 )

Once upon a time on a big farm, a mother duck sat on her nest. She had to keep her six
eggs warm until the hatched.
At last, the eggs began to crack. One by one five yellow duckling came out of the eggs.
They shook their wings and said, “Quack..Quack”. Then they walked gracefully. “Look at all of
you!”, said Mother Duck with joy. “You are all cute”. She counted one, two, three, four, five.
“Oh ,dear!. I should have six ducklings!”. Mother Duck was worried.
But one large egg was still in the nest. It was a little stubborn. So Mother Duck sat on her
nest again and waited some more. The next day, the big egg cracked open. A shy duckling
came out. He was not yellow!. He was grey and bigger than others. But he was weak and it
walked with a funny wobble.

Part 2 ( Bagian 2 )

Each yellow duckling jumped into the river and swam behind Mother Duck. The Ugly
Duckling jumped in and started to paddle, too. “I can swim, Mother!”, said the Ugly Duckling.
He was proud.

After swimming, the yellow duckling started to play. They jumped and splashed in muddy
puddles. They shooked their muddy wings and they laughed and laughed. The Ugly Duckling
tried to play with his brothers and sisters too.
“ I can jump and shake my wings”, exclaimed the Ugly Duckling. He was so happy. But the
yellow ducklings yelled, “Go away!”.
The Ugly Duckling walked with his head down. He was sad. The Ugly Duckling went into his
mother and said, “Mom, they don’t want to play with me. Am I too ugly?”
“You are different. You are not yellow but grey and brave”, Mother Duck tried to calm him
down. But, he was not very pleased to hear it.

Part 3 ( Bagian 3 )

 Then the Ugly Duckling flew away. He landed to the other side of the river. There he met
two grown-up chickens.
“Can I please stay here?”, asked the Ugly Duckling politely.
“Why do we care?”, sais one of the chicken.
“Go away”, said the other.
The Ugly Duckling walked with his head down in shame. He was sad.
The next morning, the Ugly Duckling flew away. He landed on a farm. Suddenly a big
hungry dog came. The dog chased the Ugly Duckling.
“Woof….woof..!”, the Ugly Duckling was scared. The dog sniffed and sniffed at him, then
turned away. “I’m too ugly even for the big hungry dog to want,” said the Ugly Duckling. He
felt hearthbroken.
The Ugly Duckling was very tired. But he flew and flew till he found another farm.
There he met a cow.
“Can I please stay here?”, asked the Ugly Duckling nicely.
“Why do I care?’’, replied the rude cow. She then yelled, “Moo! Go away!”
Once again the Ugly Duckling walked away with his head down. He felt hearthbroken.
As time passed, the Ugly Duckling grew up. He flew and flew till finally he found a clear
pond. He saw some big white bird swimming in the pond. “Wow, they are very beautiful!”, he
tought, “but I’m too ugly to be their friend.
“Hi,” greeted the Ugly Duckling. The beautiful white birds looked at him. It made the Ugly
Duckling feel nervous. Suddently , the biggest white bird exclaimed, “hei, look, we have
another swan here!”.
“No. No, I’m not. “I’m an ugly duckling”, said the Ugly Duckling. He shooked his head.
The beautiful white swans smiled and said, “Look at yourself in the water and tell us”.
The Ugly Duckling saw a reflection in the water. He was surprised.
“I am a swan just like you all!”
“See, we are being honest with you”, said the other swans.
Then they became friends and lived happily together.
