Section b activity one b read the story adapted from hans Christian andersen's the ugly duckling. Discuss the question with a partner. the ugly duckling. Once upon a time, there was a mother duck. SHE had six little duckling. Five of the ducklings were small and yellow, but the last duckling was big in grey. He doesn't look like, guess what, an ugly duckling. The other duckling said, that's not nice, said mother duck. He's still a duck like us at the river. The ugly duckling swam well, just like all the other duckings, but the other duckling still laughed at him and told him to go away. IT made the poor duckling very sad, so he decided to search for a new home. He met many other birds, but all of them thought that he was ugly too. They did not want him to live with them. One day, the duckling met a cat and a hand. May I stay with you? He asked, hopefully. But the two animals said, no. They did not like him because he could not pull or lay eggs. Sunday later, the ugly duckling came to a lake. There he saw three beautiful swans with long necks and White fathers. I wish I looked like you. He cried, my friend, you do look like us. Look in the water. One of the swan said the duckling looked down, and to his surprise, he saw that he was a beautiful weight. One, two.
