The Ugly Duckling
A classic tale about transformation and self-acceptance.
A little duckling was born looking very different from his siblings. The other ducklings called him ugly and made fun of him. Feeling like he didn't belong, the little duckling ran away and searched for a place where he could be accepted. Seasons passed, and one day, he saw his reflection in a lake. To his surprise, he had grown into a beautiful swan! He wasn't an ugly duckling at allβ€”he had just been different all along. Moral of the story: Don't judge someone by how they look. Everyone is special in their own way, and real beauty is about being yourself.
