Once upon a time on a old farm they lived a family of ducklings. In that family there was a mother duck and her seven baby eggs.

One afternoon when mother duck was sitting on a clutch of eggs.  The eggs started to slowly hatch one after another, after all the eggs had hatched she noticed one more egg in the nest. That last egg looked different to all the other eggs it was much bigger and had a darker grey colour. After a while the other egg hatched the duckling looked very different to his brothers and his mother instead of having yellow feathers he had grey feathers.

As he grew the more he got angry at his brothers for bullying him because he was different. So one day he decided to run away to look for his real family. Along the way he saw a group of ducks and asked if  they were his family but they just mocked him so he walked away. As he was walking a old lady picked him up and talk him to her farm. The old lady was hoping it was a female so it could lay eggs but it didn't. So the old lady stuffed him with food so she can eat him. But the ugly duckling run away.

The poor ugly duckling fell asleep in the way and a farmer found him.The farmer talk the duck too his kids so that they could look after him.A few years later the farmer decided to let him go. As soon as the poor duckling was out the door he started walking on his own.     

When he was walking he saw a pond so he went to drink some water and he saw a reflection of himself in the water and he had never looked so beautiful. As he kept walking he saw  a group of ducks and they all looked a bit similar him and to each other. The duck wondered could this be my real family and it was. So the ugly duckling found what he was looking for and realised that he was a swan and lived happily ever after.
