The Ugly Duckling (6)

The Ugly Duckling (6)

And so  the Ugly Ducklig made up his mind to find a place to hide where no-one would see how ugly he was.

For weeks and weeks he lived alone by a lake.

Summer had gone and winter was on its way.

One evening a flock of lovely white birds flew overhead.

The Duckling gazed up at them in wonder.

" If only I could be beautiful as that ! " and began to cry.



That night was so cold that the lake turned to ice.

THe Ugly Duckling was so tired he fell asleep and froze fast to the ice.
