(The Ugly Duckling looked and caught sight of his own reflection.He was so surprised,for instead of seeing a fat,grey Duckling he saw a swan with a long elegant neck and a bright orange bill.)
The Ugly Duckling:"I"m like you,I"m a swan,too."
Swan(with a smile):"Sure."
The Ugly Duckling:"Does that mean I can stay with you,and not live alone?"
Swan :"Of course."
(At that moment two children ran down to the lake.)
Two boys:"Ooh,look!The swans are back and there"s a new one,too.Isn"t he beautiful!"
(The Ugly Duckling stretched his neck and ruffled his feathers with pride.
The it was time to go flying with all of the other swans and,as the Ugly Duckling took off from the lake,he could see his new beautiful reflection in the water.)
