The Ugly Duckling

by Hans Christian Andersen

This is an enchanting story about a plain-looking little bird (the Ugly Duckling) born in a barnyard. His mother, brothers and sisters are all beautiful and he noticed that he was different. They and the other birds and animals on the farm tease him for being plain and ugly, so he runs off to live with a flock of wild ducks and geese away from home. What will become of this little ugly duckling? Will he ever return home?

This is a celebrated story about real beauty from within and respect towards other people who may be different from us.
