This section of the document features a retelling of the classic story “The Ugly Duckling.” It describes how five cute and yellow ducklings hatched with one appearing ugly and gray. The other ducklings reject the ugly one, prompting it to leave and encounter geese who also reject it. Despite facing discrimination and feeling lonely, the ugly duckling eventually grows into a beautiful swan, finding happiness and kindness in the end. The swan is mistaken for an ugly duckling until it looks at its reflection in the water and sees its true self—a beautiful swan. The story ends with the message of inner beauty and acceptance of oneself.
