Once upon a time, there was a mother duck. She had six little ducklings. Five of the ducklings were small and yellow, but the last duckling was big and grey. “He doesn’t look like us! What an ugly duckling!” the other ducklings 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 ducklings. But the other ducklings still laughed at him and told him to go away.

Background
作者在丑小鸭这一形象中融入了深切的生活体验和感受,可以说是他本人生活经历的艺术写照。
安徒生一生境遇坎坷。他家境贫寒,没有受过正规的学校教育。
他最初想做一名芭蕾舞演员,后来又想当一名歌剧演员,但都没能实现。他开始从事创作,但因出身贫穷而不断遭到别人的嘲笑排挤。但是他毫不气馁,不懈努力,终于成为一名享有世界声誉
的童话大师。
正是由于这种深厚的生活体验,丑小鸭的形象才塑造得生动感人。
生活本身就是童话。
Life itself is a fairy tale.
-Andersen
