醜小鴨英文版故事：
Once upon a time in a land filled with fluffy white clouds and butterflies, there was a family of adorable little birds. They had two beautiful, shiny black chicks, a pair of charming little wrens, and a plain little duckling that was always left out. This duckling was named "Ugly Duckling" by the other birds.
Ugly Duckling felt very lonely and unwanted, but he never let it show. He would try to fit in with the other birds, but he always felt like an outsider. He didn't have any markings on his head like the other ducklings did, so he was easily distinguished.
One day, as he was waddling along the pond, a wise old heron came to him and said, "Don't let the way you look outside affect the way you feel inside. You have something special, Ugly Duckling. You will be accepted by the other birds when you find your own way."
The next day, as the sun was setting, Ugly Duckling was swimming in the pond when he suddenly felt a splash beside him. He turned around and saw a beautiful swan standing there. He had never seen a swan before and he was amazed. The swan said, "You are not ugly at all, Ugly Duckling. You are a special kind of duckling that I have never seen before. You have a unique beauty that only time will reveal."
From that day on, Ugly Duckling began to embrace his differences and feel more confident. He started spending more time with the other birds and found that they actually had a lot in common with him. He began to learn their songs and they even taught him how to swim properly.
As time went on, Ugly Duckling started to transform into a beautiful swan just like the one that had spoken to him. He learned to appreciate his unique beauty and realized that he had always been special, even if he didn't look like the other birds at first glance.
And so, Ugly Duckling learned that we should not judge ourselves or others by their outer appearance, but by their true worth and potential. We all have something special inside us that only time will reveal. And if we are brave enough to embrace our differences, we will find our own unique beauty and happiness.
