"The Ugly Duckling" tells the poignant story of a cast-aside duckling who is ridiculed by others for his appearance. Born different from his siblings, he faces rejection and loneliness, leading him on a journey of self-discovery. As he navigates a harsh world, he encounters various creatures who reinforce his feelings of inadequacy. Eventually, after enduring much hardship, he matures into a beautiful swan, realizing that true beauty comes from within and that he was never truly "ugly." This tale highlights themes of transformation, acceptance, and the importance of inner beauty over superficial judgment. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
