What was the ugly ducklings name

As this family of ducks began to honk and laugh at the ugly ducking. You are more than welcome to join our family. The geese were very kind to him though their honks hurt his ears.

Many days and nights passed and the ugly duckling was living happily with the geese. He loved to play with the goslings and the mother and father treated him like their own.

Everything was perfect. A hunter and his basset hound approached the pond. The hunter began firing off shots at the geese and the hound chased the birds around the pond trying to catch one. The ugly duckling could do nothing but sit still. You sure are ugly! He was growing larger; his feathers were coming in and the ugly duckling was able to fly off the ground. However, the ugly duckling had become very weak and hungry; he did not have enough strength to fly.

With that, the farmer and his wife allowed the ugly duckling to live with them in the hopes that the duck would lay eggs for them to eat. They waited and waited… and waited. But nothing happened.

The ugly duckling never laid eggs; he did, however, grow larger and harder to take care of. Though the farmer and his wife had grown fond of the ugly duckling, they had no more room him in their house. He waddled through now frozen marsh plants and large frozen river reeds.

He waddled over frozen bundles of sticks and frozen piles of dung. All this waddling made him colder than ever. Miraculously, the ugly duckling had survived the cold winter. With spring, all of the frozen ponds melted and the frost evaporated from the marsh plants and river reeds.

The ugly duckling was still sad, however. He approached a crystal clear pond and saw a family of the most beautiful birds he had ever seen - swans. Suddenly, a swan gracefully glided through the water over to where the ugly duckling was sitting. Your feathers are the whitest I have ever seen. How they gleam in the sun! The next day, the big egg started to hatch. Out came a baby boy bird.

But if one may say so, it was an odd-looking thing. This bird was much bigger than others. He was not yellow at all - he was dark-gray from his head to his feet. And he walked with a funny wobble. One of the yellow ducklings pointed. He cannot be one of us! Your brother hatched from the very same nest as you did. Now line up. We will go to the lake for your very first swim. He took the last spot in the line. Each yellow duck jumped in the river and swam behind Mama Duck.

When it was his turn, the Ugly Duckling jumped in and started to paddle, too. When they left the water and started to play, the Ugly Duckling tried to play with his brothers and sisters, too.

We will not play with you! You are ugly. And you walk weird, too! When Mama Duck was close by, she would not let them talk in this way. But she was not always close by. You would do us a big favor if you just went away from here! Get out! He hung his head down low. I should go. That night, the Ugly Duckling flew over the farmyard fence.

He flew till he landed on the other side of the lake. There he met two grown-up ducks. They quickly flew up in the air, and their feathers fell down on the ground. The poor Ugly Duckling froze in fear. The dog sniffed and sniffed at the Ugly Duckling, then turned away. The sky turned dark. To his surprise, not only do they look and sound like him, but they actually seem happy to see him. Encouraged by their own honks, he stops crying and dives in to play with them until their beautiful mother calls them to her side.

Expecting her to reject him for his ugliness like all the rest, the Ugly Duckling decides to paddle away when the cygnets circle around him, blocking his path, and their mother suddenly swims up and reaches for him. Certain that she's going to attack him, he briefly cowers in fear until she pulls him close and lovingly embraces him as one of her own whereupon he realizes to his joy who he really is and where he belongs.

No longer an Ugly Duckling, the cygnet swims along with the others when he's spotted by none other than the duck family. The mother duck invites him to return to them but he refuses and remains with his true mother and siblings instead, turning his back on the duck family as he follows his own into the distance.
