1. The Ugly Duckling

   Once upon a time, in a peaceful duck farm, a strange egg hatched. It was different from the others. Instead of a cute little duckling, a big, awkward creature emerged. It was gray, gangly, and had an oversized beak.

   The other ducklings teased the newcomer mercilessly. "You're so ugly!" they quaked. "Go away!" Their mother, though kind, couldn't hide her disappointment either. Feeling rejected and alone, the ugly duckling decided to leave the farm.

   He wandered through the woods, facing harsh winters and hungry predators. He was often scared and lonely, but he never gave up hope. One day, as spring arrived, he saw a flock of beautiful swans gliding gracefully on a lake. He was mesmerized by their elegance.

   As he approached the swans, he saw his reflection in the water. To his astonishment, he was no longer an ugly duckling. He had transformed into a magnificent swan himself! The other swans welcomed him warmly, and he finally found the acceptance and love he had always longed for.

   The ugly duckling's story teaches us that beauty lies within, and that true transformation comes from perseverance and self-belief.
