Once upon a time, a swan egg accidentally fell into a peasant woman's duck nest, and the mother duck hatched this strange egg that fell from the sky for her own egg.

When all the eggs were hatched, there was a very strange duck inside, who looked different from other ducks, so everyone called him the ugly duckling.

From the moment the ugly duckling crawls out of the eggshell with difficulty, it is beaten and bullied everywhere, and is ridiculed, and the poor ugly duckling goes to the flock, and all the ducks peck at it, and it comes to the flock alone, and all the chickens crowd out it and beat it, and everyone wants to drive it away.

Because the ugly duckling could not lay eggs like other ducks and chickens, even the maid who fed the chickens kicked him, and the poor ugly duckling had to flee through the fence overnight.

The ugly duckling came to the pheasant flock alone, but the ugly duckling was asked not to marry the pheasant, so the ugly duckling left the pheasant flock again, and came to a swamp alone, and the muddy geese in the swamp asked the ugly duckling to be a migratory bird with them, and the ugly duckling felt that this was not his inner thought, and it refused. At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the reeds, and the wild goose was killed by the hunters.

The ugly duckling fled from the swamp in fright, and then went through the fence to another peasant woman's chicken coop, because it could not lay eggs like other chickens, nor could it meow like a kitten, but the ugly duckling still had his own ideas.

The ugly duckling wanted to swim freely in the water, and when it saw the beautiful white swan spread its wings and fly from the cold place to the unfrozen lake, it felt an indescribable joy and excitement, so the ugly duckling decided to run to the swan, because the ugly duckling felt that even if he was pecked to death by the swan, it was better than being pecked by the chickens, much better than the ducks, and was kicked by the chicken farm maid, the ugly duckling had to endure such great humiliation and pain every day in the winter.

So the ugly duckling resolutely chose the true idea of his heart it went to the swan, when the ugly duckling came to the moment of the swan group, the ugly duckling was recognized by everyone as the most beautiful swan, the ugly duckling happily shed tears, it turned out that he was the most beautiful swan and not an ugly duckling, the ugly duckling was not proud of this, because the ugly duckling has a heart that is never proud.

The story of the ugly duckling tells us that we should be the same as we should be, not in the eyes and ideas of the unexpected world, if we feel that our ideas are correct, we must insist on the true thoughts of our hearts, and then prove our ideas step by step, if there are problems with our ideas, we must correct them in time, if things turn out to be right in the end, and do not be complacent, the ugly duckling has always pursued the truth, goodness and beauty of the heart is the most correct.
