"The ugly duckling"

●     Our adaptation of the story:

It is a beautiful and sunny day. The sun was shining. A mother duck is sitting on five eggs. Father duck is nervous waiting for his ducklings.

"Tchick." One by one all the eggs break open. All except the biggest one.

   

          

Mother duck sits and sits on the big egg. At last it breaks open, "Tchick, tchick!" The last baby duck was born!!!!!!

But… what has happened? He looks big and strong.

“It is grey and ugly!” The father duck says, and then leaves.

The next day mother duck takes her four little yellow ducks to the pond.

The ugly duck jumps into the water imitating his brothers, but mother duck and her ducklings reject him.

 “Quack, quack! Go away, we don´t love you”  Mother duck says.

The poor duckling is so unhappy there. He runs away crying.

He´s looking for a family where he can live. However, he doesn't find it.

Finally, he arrives at the river. He sees many beautiful big birds swimming there. Their feathers are so white, their necks so long and their wings so pretty. They are beautiful swans!!!

The little duckling wants to be like them but…he is ugly, so he goes away from there.

One morning the ugly duckling sees the beautiful swans again. He is afraid, but he wants to swim with them in the river. So, he jumps into the river.

And…. When he looks into the water, he sees a beautiful swan. It is self! He is no longer an ugly duckling. He is a beautiful white swan.

He had finally found his family!

●     Our invented end:

By the trail, he´s looking for a family where he can live. However, he doesn't find it.

Finally, he arrives at the river. But suddenly a beautiful duck appears. She asks if he wants to be her friend, because she doesn´t have a family.

They became friends. The days go by and ducklings were growing. They were still best friends.

One morning, both were a big surprise when they woke up. Its feathers were not already grey and ugly, now they were white and beautiful.

Oh dear!  They are swans!  How happy were the two ducklings!

After awhile, they fell in love and made a beautiful swan family.
