Na m e Da te

It was a beautiful spring morning on a small farm near the woods. In a cool, shaded
corner, a duck built a warm nest to sit on her four precious eggs. Strangely, one of the
eggs was much larger than the rest.

To her excitement, the eggs started to rumble and crack. One, two, three eggs popped
open, and three little ducklings poked their heads into the world. At the same time, the
biggest egg began to crack as well. To the mother’s surprise, a big, gray duckling
stumbled out of the egg! Although he was different and not as cute as the other
ducklings, she loved him nonetheless.

The next day, the duck introduced her family to the other animals on the farm. Seeing the
strange gray duckling, the pig, mallard, and mouse all burst out laughing.

The poor duckling bowed his head in shame. He felt like he didn’t belong. That night, as
his family slept near the barn, the gray duckling decided to leave to find people that liked
him for who he was.

Before long, he ran into a kind old woman, her rooster, and her cat. She invited him into
her home, and they all treated him like family. Over time, the little gray duckling began to
grow. Although he was happy, he always felt something was missing.

One day, as he stared out on the pond, he saw a family of beautiful swans wading in the
cool breeze. He wanted to go swimming with them. As he approached the pond, he saw
his reflection for the first time. The ugly duckling had grown into a beautiful swan! From
below, the cat and rooster happily watched their friend fly high in the sky. Finally, the little
gray duckling had found himself.
