the day started out rotten. she overslept and was late for work. everything that happened at the office contributed to her nervous frenzy. by the time she reached the bus stop for her homeward trip, her stomach was one big knot.
as usual, the bus was late – and jammed. she had to stand in the aisle. as the lurching vehicle pulled her in all directions, her gloom deepened.
then she heard a voice from up front boom, "beautiful day, isn‘t it?" because of the crowd, she could not see the man, but she heard him as he continued to comment on the spring scenery, calling attention to each approaching landmark. this church. that park. this cemetery. that firehouse. soon all the passengers were gazing out the windows. the man‘s enthusiasm was so contagious she found herself smiling for the first time that day.
they reached her stop. maneuvering toward the door, she got a look at their "guide": an older gentleman with a beard, wearing dark glasses and carrying a thin, white cane.

"ugly duckling!ugly duckling!" said the eight other ducklings.
"ugly duckling!ugly duckling!go away!"

once the mother duck took her ducklings to visit another duck family
on the other side of the lake. they teased the ugly duckling.
"you can't be a duck!you can't be a duck!"
"i am a duck!i am a duck!i am!" cried the ugly duckling.
and then he ran away. the ugly duckling hid in some grass.
soon it got dark. the ugly duckling was scared and lonely. he went to sleep. the next morning, the ugly duckling went to look for food.
"what kind of bird are you " asked some wild ducks.
"i am a duck," said the ugly duckling.

he came to another lake.
"i'll stay here," he said. the ugly duckling stayed all winter.

some swans flying south.

couldn't fly very well, and the swans couldn't wait. the ugly duckling stayed by the lake. he grew…and grew….and grew! in the spring, the ugly duckling flapped his wings. they were big and strong.
"i can fly," he said. "i can fly!"he flew to a riverbank.
"come and stay with us," said the swans.
