Once upon a time, there was a duckling who was different from the other ducks. He was bigger and had different feathers, causing the other ducks to make fun of him and call him "ugly." The duckling left the pond in search of a place where he belonged and eventually came across a group of swans. He was amazed at how beautiful they were and realized that he was actually a swan too. He learned to embrace his uniqueness and found happiness in being himself.
