Once upon a time, in a beautiful meadow, there was a family of ducks. The mother duck sat on her eggs, waiting for them to hatch. After many days, one by one, the little ducklings peeped into the world. But there was one egg that remained unbroken. Finally, on a sunny day, this last egg cracked open, and out stepped a tiny, gray-feathered duckling.

The other ducklings were golden brown, but this newcomer was different. They laughed at him and called him "ugly." The poor little thing was lonely and sad. He left the meadow and wandered off into the world, hoping to find a place where he belonged.

As he traveled, the Ugly Duckling saw many beautiful sights: lush forests, sparkling lakes, and vast fields of grain. But he was too sad to enjoy them. He came to a farm where he was welcomed by the ducks and geese, but they too found him ugly and drove him away.

Feeling lost and alone, the Ugly Duckling continued his journey. One day, he came upon a group of swans, who were so graceful and beautiful that he could not help but stare in awe. The swans took pity on him and let him join their flock. But soon winter came, and the swans flew south for the winter. The Ugly Duckling was left behind, feeling more alone than ever.

As spring returned, the Ugly Duckling found himself in a new place. He saw that he had changed: his gray feathers were gone, and in their place were white, pure, and shining ones. He was no longer an ugly duckling but a beautiful swan!

The Ugly Duckling was overjoyed at his transformation. He realized that he had always been special and beautiful inside, just like all the swans around him. He learned that true beauty comes from within and that everyone deserves to be loved and accepted for their true selves.

很久很久以前，在一个美丽的草地上，住着一只鸭子的家庭，鸭妈妈坐在她的蛋上，等待着它们孵化，过了许多天，小鸭子们一个接一个地探出头来，但有一个蛋仍然没有裂开，终于，在一个阳光明媚的日子，这个最后的蛋裂开了，走出来一只小灰羽毛的鸭子。

其他的小鸭子是金棕色的，但这个新来的却与众不同，他们嘲笑他，叫他“丑小鸭”，这个可怜的小家伙感到孤独和悲伤，他离开了草地，四处游荡，希望找到一个属于他的地方。

在旅途中，丑小鸭看到了许多美丽的景色：茂密的森林、闪烁的湖泊和广阔的麦田，但他太伤心了，无法享受这些美景，他来到一个农场，那里的鸭子和大雁欢迎了他，但他们也觉得他丑陋，把他赶走了。

感到迷失和孤独，丑小鸭继续他的旅程，一天，他遇到了一群天鹅，它们如此优雅和美丽，他不禁惊叹不已，天鹅们对他产生了同情，让他加入了他们的队伍，但不久冬天来了，天鹅们飞往南方过冬，丑小鸭被留在了后面，感到比以往任何时候都更加孤独。

随着春天的到来，丑小鸭发现自己在一个新的地方，他发现他已经变了：他的灰色羽毛不见了，取而代之的是白色、纯净和闪亮的羽毛，他不再是丑小鸭而是一只美丽的天鹅！

丑小鸭对自己的变化感到非常高兴，他意识到自己一直都很特别和美丽，就像他周围所有的天鹅一样，他学到了真正的美丽来自内心，每个人都应该被爱和接受他们真实的自我。
