Ugly Duckling

Once upon a time there was a little Ugly Duckling. His mummy doesn't love him because he is different. So, he starts to walk and walk alone. He finds an old woman with a cat and a hen; but they don't love him. He finally arrives in a pound, and he stays there. But winter comes, and he becomes trapped in the ice. A farmer saves him from death. When spring comes, the farmer frees him in the pound. And, when Ugly Duckling looks himself in the water... Surprise! He can see that now he is a beautiful swan.
