Chapter Two

Nobody Likes The Ugly Duckling


The Ugly Duckling runs to a marsh.

He sees big marsh ducks.

“I want to play with you,”says the Ugly Duckling.

“You don’t look like us. Look into the water.

You are an ugly duckling!”

Says a big marsh duck.

The Ugly Duckling looks into the water.

He sees an ugly duckling.

“The marsh duck is right. I am ugly,”

He sighs.

The Ugly Duckling is sad.

The Ugly Duckling runs to a house.

“I will live in this house,”he says.

But he sees a big dog in the house.

Growl! The dog growls and says,

“You are an Ugly duckling.

You can’t live in this house.”

The Ugly Duckling runs to a pond.

He sees beautiful swans.

“The swans are beautiful.

I want to be like them,” he sighs.
