求the ugly ducking的英文原文
求翻译
One lovely summer in the country,Mother Duck sat on her nest.She had been waiting for her eggs to hatch for a long time.Finally one egg began to crack.And then another.From each shell came a tiny golden creature crying,”Peep!Peep!” Soon all the eggs were hatched,except one.
At last the largest egg hatched.A young bird peeked out,crying “Peep!Peep!”like the others.But this ducking was gray and quite larger,and very ugly.
Mother Duck stared at her new baby.”You are not like my other ducklings,”she said,”I wonder if you are really my turkey,and not a duckling at all?”
She took her ducklings to the riverbank to practice their swimming.Mother Duck watched her largest baby,because it is well known that turkeys cannot swim.
All the ducklings jumped fearlessly into the river,Even the ugly duckling swam gracefully.thought Mother Duck:” He is not a turkey at all.”
Mother Ducj brought her family to live on the nearby farm,but the ugly duckling was very unhappy there.All the other ducks picked on him,calling him names and stealing his food.Even the chickens laughed at the ugly duckling,and one turkey pecked at him in a most vicious way.The poor duckling decided he must run away.” There is no home for an ugly duckling,“he said miserably.He closed his eyes and waddled away.
Through the winter he almost starved and nearly froze.Then,one day the warm spring came,The duckling tested his wings and found that they were strong.He dlew,landing by chance in a beautiful garden with a very clear pond.And in the pond were three beautiful white swans.
The duckling swam toward the beautiful swans,though he knew they would laugh and tell him to go away.”I’d just like to see them,if only for a moment,“thought the ugly duckling.
But the swans did not laugh or tell him go away.The swans stroked his neck and welcomed him.The duckling happened to glance down at the watermwhere he saw his own reflection.He was no longer a gray,ugly bird.He had grown up to be a beautiful white swan!
