SUMMARY AND MORAL VALUES OF "THE UGLY DUCKLING"

The story of The Ugly Duckling is quite short, so the summary is shorter lol. Here it is:

Once upon a time, a mother duck sat on her eggs. Several days later, the eggs cracked and some ducklings appeared. But one of those ducklings was different. He was so big and very gray. He was like a turkey. The mother duck was very proud of him. But, the other ducklings didn't agree with her, they made fun of him day by day. The ugly duckling was very sad. And one day, he ran away and hid in the bushes. While he was swimming in the pond, he saw three large white swans came towards him. He thought that the swans would attack him, but they didn't. The swans stroked him with their bills. When the ugly ducklings bent his neck to speak to them, he saw his reflection on the water. He couldn't believe his eyes. He exclaimed that he wasn't an ugly duckling anymore, but a beautiful swan. And finally, he with the other swans lived happily ever after together.

And here are the moral values of The Ugly Duckling:

- Never judge others by their appearances

- Don't be let down easily

- It's good to care about others
