  • Mother duck sits on her nest hatching eggs,

  • The eggs crack one by one,

  • Little ducks pop out one after another,

  • Only the biggest egg hasn't moved yet,

  • Finally the shell cracks,

  • Out comes a dusty gray little duck,

  • The brothers and sisters gather around,

  • "So ugly," they click their tongues,

  • "So ugly," they shake their heads,

  • The ugly duckling lowers its head,

  • Afraid to look at anyone,

  • In the daytime the little ducks go learn to swim,

  • The other ducks say,

  • "Don't let the ugly duckling swim with us,"

  • The ugly duckling stands on the shore,

  • Watching everyone have fun playing,

  • At night the little ducks huddle together to sleep,

  • They say,

  • "Don't let the ugly duckling sleep over here,"

  • The ugly duckling shrinks into the corner,

  • Shivering all alone,

  • Days pass by one after another,

  • The mockery keeps growing,

  • Friends become fewer and fewer,

  • The ugly duckling thinks,

  • "Here nobody likes me,"

  • It flaps its wings,

  • Quietly leaves the pond,

  • The forest is dark,

  • The trees are so tall,

  • The ugly duckling walks and walks,

  • Can't find any food,

  • The wind blows,

  • It buries its head in its wings,

  • The rain comes,

  • It hides beneath the fallen leaves,

  • So cold and so hungry,

  • It curls up into a ball,

  • But it doesn't cry,

  • Walking forward step by step,

  • One day it comes to a big lake,

  • Several white birds are swimming on the lake,

  • Their feathers are so white,

  • Their necks are so long,

  • The ugly duckling is completely amazed,

  • "They are so beautiful,"

  • It stands on the shore,

  • Admiring these birds so much,

  • It looks down at its own gray feathers,

  • "I could never be this beautiful,"

  • Winter comes,

  • The lake surface freezes over,

  • The white birds fly away,

  • Flying to warm places far away,

  • The ugly duckling stands alone on the ice,

  • Breathing out white fog,

  • The wind blows hard,

  • It wraps its wings tight,

  • The snow falls down,

  • It lowers its head,

  • So cold and so cold,

  • But it still keeps waiting,

  • Spring finally comes,

  • The ice on the lake slowly melts,

  • The white birds are back again,

  • A white bird swims over,

  • Gently touches it with its beak,

  • "Come play with us,"

  • The ugly duckling raises its head,

  • Frozen in shock,

  • It looks down into the water,

  • A white bird is reflected in the water,

  • With a long neck,

  • And white feathers,

  • "So I am also......,"

  • The ugly duckling spreads its wings wide,

  • The water reflects a beautiful shadow,

  • It finally smiles,

  • Swimming toward the white birds,

  • The ugly duckling has become a beautiful swan,
