　　The Ugly Duckling

　　Long ago, in a farmyard many miles away, a Mother Duck sat on her nest. She was waiting for her eggs to hatch. Each day she proudly looked at them. There were six eggs, which meant six little ducklings to teach to swim.

　　One sunny spring morning, the first egg began to crack..

　　\'Tap, tap, tap,\' went the duckling inside, trying to get out. Mother Duck watched as the egg cracked open and out popped a fluffy duckling.

　　"One," said Mother Duck proudly.

　　The next day, the second egg hatched and out popped another fluffy duckling.

　　"Two," said Mother Duck proudly.

　　On the third day, duckling number three hatched.

　　"That leaves just three," said Mother Duck.

　　On the fourth and fifth day, ducklings number four and five hatched.

　　"That leaves just one," said Mother Duck, as she settled on her nest. Her ducklings gathered around her.

　　But on the sixth day nothing happened. Nor on the seventh.

　　"How strange," said Mother Duck on the seventh day. "It should have hatched by now."

　　One of the farmyard chickens wandered by.

　　"Oh," she said. "You\'re still there I thought you\'d be on the pond by now."

　　"It\'s this last egg," said Mother Duck. "It hasn\'t hatched yet."

　　"Let me see," said the chicken. "Well no wonder. It looks like a goose egg to me. You\'ll be here for a long time."

　　"Oh dear," said Mother Duck. "I have my five little ducklings to teach to swim. What shall I do? I can\'t leave it."

　　"Aah well," said the chicken, and she wandered off.

　　The goose heard that one of her eggs was in Mother Duck\'s nest.

　　"Is it true?" she asked, as she puffed up to the nest. "Do you have one of my eggs?"

　　"I think so," said Mother Duck. They both looked in the nest.

　　"Huh," said the goose. "That\'s not mine. It looks more like that absent-minded turkey\'s egg."

　　As they looked, they suddenly heard the faint tapping. The shell was breaking.

　　"We\'ll soon see," said the goose.

　　They watched and waited.

　　"Oh," said the goose.

　　"Oh, dear," said Mother Duck, as she looked at the sixth duckling. It looked most strange, it was straggly and grey where its brothers and sisters were fluffy and yellow. It was also bigger than them.

　　It quacked as it saw its mother.

　　"Well, if it\'s a turkey," said the goose, "it won\'t swim."

　　Mother Duck hurried her ducklings to the pond. She waddled in and listened. Splash! Splish! Splosh! Splash! Splish! She turned and looked. All six ducklings followed her in the water.

　　"Oh, well," she said. "He can swim. He is definitely not a turkey."

　　The sixth duckling was very good at swimming, and was soon swimming better than his brothers and sisters.

　　Back at the farmyard, things did not go well for the little duckling. Everyone called him an ugly duckling. The chickens laughed at him, the turkeys chased him and the geese hissed at him.

　　Soon even his brothers and sisters would not talk to him, but when his mother turned away, he was very sad. He decided to leave the farmyard.

　　One sunny morning, he walked out of the farmyard and didn\'t look back. He wandered away, looking for somewhere new to live.

　　When he\'d been walking a while he came to a large lake. There were some ducks swimming on it.

　　He swam up to them.

　　"May I stay on this lake?" he asked.

　　"Of course," said the ducks. "We\'ll be moving on soon. Why don\'t you join us, if you\'re on your own?"

　　"Thank you," said the duckling.

　　The duckling stayed on the lake and day by day he grew bigger. One day he looked up to see some large white birds flying gracefully over the lake.

　　"They\'re beautiful," he whispered, and then sighed. "I wonder who they are?"

　　One day the ducks came to see him.

　　"It\'s autumn, and we\'re going now," they told him, "join us if you want to."

　　Some ducks began to fly up to leave, but suddenly loud bangs were heard. Two of the ducks fell from the sky. Others flew up in fright, and more fell as more bangs were heard.

　　The duckling ran and hid. He found a bush and stayed there until the noise had died down. When it was quiet he sadly left the lake and headed away over the fields.

　　He came to another lake and there he stayed. Winter was coming and he was alone. As the days grew colder, he found that it was harder to find food.

　　The one morning he woke and found that he couldn\'t move. The lake had frozen and he was stuck in the ice. The day passed and the duckling was giving up hope of being found. But late in the afternoon a man walking his dog saw him. He broke the ice, and the duckling was free. He ran across the ice and hid. He didn\'t dare to go on the ice again.

　　Winter passed, spring came, and the ice melted.

　　The duckling stretched his wings and found that they were strong enough to carry him. He flew upon and over the lake, high above the trees and fields. He should have been very happy, but he was not because he felt so lonely.

　　A few days later, he looked up to see the large white birds he had seen in the autumn. They looked beautiful as they landed on the lake. The duckling admired their glossy white feathers and long necks. He swan over to take a closer look at them.

　　"Please," he said shyly. "Will you tell me who you are. You are so beautiful and I am so ugly. I\'ve never seen anybody like you."

　　"Ugly," cried one of the white birds. "How silly!"

　　"We\'re swans," said another. "Why do you think you\'re ugly? Look at yourself in the water."

　　The duckling looked and caught sight of his own reflection. He gasped in surprise, for instead of seeing a fat, grey duckling he saw a swan with a long elegant neck and a bright orange bill. "I\'m like you," he cried. "I\'m a swan, too."

　　"Definitely," said the swan, with a smile.

　　"Does that mean I can stay with you, and not live alone?"

　　"Of course," said the swans.

　　At that moment two children ran down to the lake. "Ooh, look!" they cried. "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.

　　Then it was time to go flying with all of the other swans and, as the duckling took off from the lake, he could see his new beautiful reflection in the water.

丑小鴨的故事漢語對照

　　美麗的鄉間農舍，一只母鴨寂寞地臥在它的窩里，孵化自已的孩子。終于，那些鴨蛋一個接一個地裂開了，“僻!僻!”鴨蛋叫起來，井伸出了它們的小頭。瞧!這些小家伙多么活潑，睜著好奇的眼睛正四下張望。只有一只蛋還躺在那兒，沒有一點兒動靜。

　　“這一個蛋費的時間真久!”母鴨開始抱怨。

　　“這是一只吐綬雞的蛋!讓它躺在那兒吧。你盡管先教別的孩子去游泳好了。”一只來訪的老母鴨這樣勸著。

　　但是鴨媽媽還是堅持著把蛋孵了出來。這只小鴨又大又丑，不過游起水來倒還漂亮。鴨媽媽因此稍感欣慰，井盼望它會慢慢長得漂亮點。

　 　可是新的生活一開始，這只最后從蛋殼里爬出的丑小鴨處處挨啄，受排擠、被譏笑，不僅在鴨中是如此，連在雞群中也是這樣。后來的情形一天比一天更糟。大家 都要趕走這只可憐的小鴨連它自已的兄弟姐妹也對它生起氣來。于是媽媽也說：“我希望你走遠些!”鴨兒們啄它，小雞們打它，喂雞鴨的那個女傭人也用腳踢它。 于是它閉起眼睛悲哀地逃，逃到一塊住著許多野鴨的沼澤地，又逃到一間老太婆和貓兒居住的農舍，結果還是一樣地受歧視，嫌它不會“瞇瞇”叫，小鴨苦悶極了， 自個兒在水中鉆來鉆去，秋天時凍得“呱呱”直叫。

　　一天傍晚，薄暮低垂，一群美麗的天鵝從灌木林里飛出來，小鴨從未見過這么美麗的鳥，看著它們飛走了，既茫然又羨慕，心中油然涌出一種深深的愛，好像它從未愛過什么似的。

　 　冬天來了，終于有一天小鴨昏倒了，一個農夫把他抱回家去送給了他的妻子，可是它又闖禍了，農去的妻子要用火鉗打它，它鼓起翅膀飛走了，飛進了一座大花 園，在這里它又遇見了美麗的天鵝。小鴨突然憂郁地想：“我要飛向它們，飛向這些高貴的鳥兒!即使被它們打死，也總比讓那些欺負自已的動物咬、啄要好受得 多。”于是它又飛到水里，向美麗的天鵝游去。

　　“請你們把我弄死吧!”可憐的小鴨說。它低低地把頭垂到水上，只等著一死。

　　但是，當它在清撤的水畫看到自已的倒影，再也不是一只粗笨的，深灰色的，又丑又令人討厭的鴨子了，而是—只天鵝時，它恍然大徹大悟。

　　只要是只天鵝蛋，即使生活在雞窩里，又有什么關系呢?

　　孩子們向它撒畫包片、麥粒，許多大天鵝在它周圍游泳，用嘴吻它，它感到非常幸福，快樂地想：“當我還是一個丑小鴨的時候，我做夢也沒想到會有這么幸福!”
