　Ugly Duckling

　The countryside was lovely. It was summer. The wheat was golden and the oats were still green. The hay was stacked in the low-lying meadows. There lay great woods around the fields and meadows. There were deep lakes in the midst of the woods. In the sunniest spot stood an old mansion surrounded by a deep moat. Great leaves grew from the vines on the walls of the house right down to the water's edge. Some of the leaves were so big that a child could use them as an umbrella.

　In the depths of a forest a duck was sitting in her nest. Her little ducklings were about to be hatched.

　At last one egg after another began to crack." Cheep, cheep!" the ducklings said." Quack, quack!" said the duck. " How big the world is!" said all the young ones.

　But the biggest egg was still there. And then she settled herself on the nest again.

　"Well, how are you getting on?" said an old duck who came to pay her a visit." This egg is taking such a long time," answered the sitting duck."

　The shell will not crack, but the others are the finest ducklings. They are like their father."

　"let me look at the egg which won't crack," said the old duck." You may be sitting on a turkey's egg! I have been cheated like that once. Yes. it's a turkey's egg! You had better leave it alone and teach the other children to swim."

　"I will sit on it a little longer."

　At last the big egg cracked. How big and ugly the baby was! " That is a very big duckling." she said, " None of the others look like that. Can he be a turkey's chick? I will soon find out. I will make him go into water."

　The next day the mother duck with her family went down to the moat. She said, and one duckling jumped in after another.

　The big ugly one swam about with them." No, that is no turkey," she said," Quack, quack! Now come with me and I will take you into the world. Keep close to me all the time. Be careful of the cat!" The first day passed, and everything was fine.

　Afterwards, matters grew worse and worse. The poor duckling was chased and harassed by all the ducklings because he was very ugly.The ducks bit him, the hens pecked him. and the girl who fed them kicked him aside. Then he ran off and soon came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.

　He was so tired and miserable that he stayed there the whole night.

　In the morning the wild ducks flew up to see their new friend." You are very ugly," said the wild ducks," but that does not matter to us." He stayed there two whole days . And then two wild geese came. Just at that moment the sound of "Bang! Bang!" was heard, and both the wild geese fell dead among the reeds.

　It was a terrible shock to the poor duckling.

　A big dog appeared close beside him. He showed his sharp teeth and went on without touching him.

　"Oh, thank Heaven! I am so ugly that even the dog won't bite me!" sighed the duckling.

　In the evening he reached a little cottage where an old woman lived with her cat and her hen. Her eyesight was not good, and she thought the duckling was a fat duck. will be rich if I have duck eggs," she said. So she took in the duckling for three weeks, but he laid no eggs.

　The cat was the master of the house and the hen was the mistress.

　"Can you lay eggs?" asked the hen.

　"No," answered the duckling.

　"Then you had better go out into the wide world," said the cat. So away went the duckling.

　One evening the sun was just setting when a flock of beautiful large birds appeared out of the bushes.

　The duckling thought," I've never seen anything so beautiful."

　They were dazzlingly white with long necks. They were swans. He did not know what the birds were.

　The winter was so bitterly cold that the duckling swam about in the water to keep himself from freezing.

　The sun began to shine warmly again. The larks were singing and beautiful spring had come. Then, all at once, the duckling raised his wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before. Before he knew it, he found himself in a large garden where the apple trees were in full blossom and long branches of lilacs overhung the shores of the lake.

　Just in front of him he saw three beautiful white swans swimming towards him.

　"I will fly to them and they will hack me to pieces because I am so ugly. But it doesn't matter. I would rather be killed by them than be bitten by the ducks or pecked by the hens." So he flew into the water and swam towards the swans. They saw him and darted towards him.

　"Kill me! Oh, kill me!" said the poor duckling, and he waited for his death bowing his head towards the water.

　But what did he see in the clear water? He was no longer a dark gray ugly bird. He was himself a swan!

　Some children came into the garden with corn and pieces of bread, which they threw into the water.

　The smallest child shouted with joy," There is a new one." The other children shouted, "Yes, a new one has come."

　He said to himself, " I never dreamed that I could be so happy when I was the ugly duckling!"

　The Ugly Duckling

　One evening,the sun was just setting in with true splendor when 1)a flock of beautiful large birds appeared out of the bushes.The duckling had never seen anything so beautiful.They were dazzlingly white with long waving necks.They were swans and uttering a peculiar cry.They spread out their magnificent broad wings and flew away from the cold regions toward warmer lands and open seas.

　They 2)mounted so high,so very high,and the ugly little duckling became strangely uneasy.He circled around and around in the water like a wheel,3)craning his neck out into the air after them.Then he uttered the shriek so 4)piercing and so strange that he was quite frightened by himself.Oh,he could not forget those beautiful birds,those happy birds and as soon as they were out of sight.He 5)ducked right down to the bottom and when he came up again,he was quite beside himself.He did not know what the birds were or where?d they flew.But all the same,he was more drawn towards them than he had ever been by any creatures before.He did not envy them in the least.How could it occur to him even to wish to be such a marvelous beauty?He wouldn?t be thankful if only the ducks would have tolerated him among them,the poor ugly creature.

　Early in the morning,a peasant came along and saw him,he went out onto the ice and hammered a hole in it with his heavy wooden shoe,and carried the duckling home to his wife.There,it soon 6)revived.The children wanted to play with it.But the duckling thought they were going to ill use him and rushed in and he frightened to the milk-pan,and the milk 7)spurted out all over the room.The woman shrieked and threw up her hands.Then it flew to the butter-cask and down into the meal-tub and out again.Oh,just imagine what it looked like by this time.The woman screamed and tried to hit it with the 8)tongs,and the children 9)tumbled over one another in trying to catch it,and they screamed with laughter.

　By good luck,the door stood open and the duckling flew out among the bushes and the new fallen snow.And it lay there,thoroughly exhausted,but it would be too sad to mention all the privation and misery had to go through during that hard winter.When the sun began to shine warmly again,the duckling was in a marsh,lying among the rushes.The larks were singing,and the beautiful spring had come.Then all at once,it raised its wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before and bore him off vigorously.Before he knew where he was,he found himself in a large garden with the apple trees were in full blossom.And the air was scentedly with lilacs,the long branches of which overhung the indented shores of the lake.Oh,the spring freshness was so delicious.Just in front of him,he saw three beautiful white swans advancing towards him from a 10)thicket.With 11)rustling feathers,they swam lightly over the water.The duckling recognized the majestic birds,and he was overcome by a strange melancholy.

　?I will fly to them,the royal birds,and they will hack me to pieces because I who am so ugly venture to approach them.But it won?t matter.Better to be killed by them than be snacked up by the ducks,12)pecked by the hens,or 13)spurned by the hen wife,or suffer so much misery in the winter.? So he flew into the water and swam towards the stately swans.They saw him and darted toward him with ruffled feathers.?Kill me,oh,kill me.? said the poor creature.And bowing his head towards the water,he awaited his death.But what did he see?Reflected in the transparent water,he saw below him his own image,but he was no longer a clumsy dark gray bird,ugly and ungainly.He was himself,a swan.

《龟兔赛跑》故事传入我国后，有童话学家根据龟兔赛跑故事，二度创作《龟兔二次赛跑》，最终兔子坚持跑完全程，乌龟因为慢吞吞，落后了。《龟兔二次赛跑》寓意是，要认识自身，改变劣势。
