丑陋的鸭子

夏天,一个池塘,一只母鸭耐心地坐在草巢上。 蛋一一地开始开裂,黄毛小鸭子快乐地偷出。 只有最大的蛋没有被包扎。

终于,大鸡蛋打开了,但出现的鸭子是大而枯燥的灰色,看起来和他兄弟姐妹完全不一样。 母鸭子突然地看,但决定以与其他人一样的爱来抚养他。

但其他农家动物却不如母鸭好,他们嘲笑他笨拙、平凡和奇异的外表,甚至连他自己的兄弟姐妹也加入进来,每次被嘲笑,鸭子都感到孤独和受伤。

有一天晚上,鸭子从农场溜走,他穿过田野和沼泽,面临严酷、孤独的冬天,寒冷和饥饿,但一天一天活下来。

当春天终于到来的时候,小鸭子看到一群美丽的白天鹅飞过头顶。 他身上有些东西令人渴望,尽管他仍然认为自己只是一只丑陋的小鸭,不配如此美丽。

聚集他的勇气,鸭子游向一群天鹅 躺在一个清澈的池塘上 为自己所遭到的拒绝和残酷 准备着自己

当他俯视水中反射时,他晕倒了。回望他并不是他一直做的笨拙鸭子,而是一只年轻的天鹅,羽毛白白,光彩亮丽,比任何其他人都美丽。他从来不是丑陋的鸭子。他没有长大,也没有在错误的地方逗留过。

天空天鹅热烈欢迎他,孩子们在水尖边玩耍,他说他是最美丽的天鹅。最后,他明白:真正的价值并不是因为强迫自己进入一个从未想过要你进入的地方,而是因为自己成长成一个完整的自我,直到有一天你找到了真正属于你的地方。

不同并不代表你的价值会降低。有时你只是还没有找到真正属于你的地方。 保持自我,有一天你会发现你能够完全而自豪地站在什么位置, 成为真正的自己。

Parents' guide

Read The Ugly Duckling without tying worth to beauty

A good fit for

Children who have felt different, been teased, or are building confidence. Let them question the label “ugly” and define belonging in their own words.

Know before reading

The main character is mocked and isolated, then admired after discovering he is a swan. The ending can imply that becoming beautiful or finding an identical group creates worth.

Words to explore

isolated
alone or separated from others
different
not the same in one or more ways
accept
to recognize someone as they are and make room for them

Before reading

  • Does “ugly” describe a fact or someone's opinion?
  • What helps a person feel that they belong?

While reading

  • How does the teasing affect the duckling?
  • Who could choose to help even without being like the duckling?

After reading

  • Would the duckling deserve acceptance if he never became a swan?
  • What is valuable about groups of similar and different people?
  • What new title would you give this story?

A 10-minute after-reading activity

About 10 minutes

Materials: paper, crayons

  1. Write a judgment such as strange or ugly.
  2. Change it into something observable, such as gray feathers or taller body.
  3. Draw the character and add three abilities or interests unrelated to appearance.

What may feel scary or confusing

Rejection and teasing may connect with real experience. Ask gently whether the child wants to talk or keep reading, without pressing for details.

For adults: leave room for the child's view

Do not conclude that life improves because the duckling becomes a swan. Affirm that the character deserved safety and respect from the beginning.
