"
Let
him
alone
,
"
his
mother
said
.
"
He
is
n't
doing
any
harm
.
"
22
"
Possibly
not
,
"
said
the
duck
who
bit
him
,
"
but
he
's
too
big
and
strange
,
and
therefore
he
needs
a
good
whacking
.
"
23
"
What
nice-looking
children
you
have
,
Mother
,
"
said
the
old
duck
with
the
rag
around
her
leg
.
"
They
are
all
pretty
except
that
one
.
He
did
n't
come
out
so
well
.
It
's
a
pity
you
ca
n't
hatch
him
again
.

"
That
ca
n't
be
managed
,
your
ladyship
,
"
said
the
mother
.
"
He
is
n't
so
handsome
,
but
he
's
as
good
as
can
be
,
and
he
swims
just
as
well
as
the
rest
,
or
,
I
should
say
,
even
a
little
better
than
they
do
.
I
hope
his
looks
will
improve
with
age
,
and
after
a
while
he
wo
n't
seem
so
big
.
He
took
too
long
in
the
egg
,
and
that
's
why
his
figure
is
n't
all
that
it
should
be
.
"
She
pinched
his
neck
and
preened
his
feathers
.
"
Moreover
,
he
's
a
drake
,
so
it
wo
n't
matter
so
much
.
25
I
think
he
will
be
quite
strong
,
and
I
'm
sure
he
will
amount
to
something
.
"
26
"
The
other
ducklings
are
pretty
enough
,
"
said
the
old
duck
.
"
Now
make
yourselves
right
at
home
,
and
if
you
find
an
eel
's
head
you
may
bring
it
to
me
.
"
27
So
they
felt
quite
at
home
.
But
the
poor
duckling
who
had
been
the
last
one
out
of
his
egg
,
and
who
looked
so
ugly
,
was
pecked
and
pushed
about
and
made
fun
of
by
the
ducks
,
and
the
chickens
as
well
.
"
He
's
too
big
,
"
said
they
all
.
The
turkey
gobbler
,
who
thought
himself
an
emperor
because
he
was
born
wearing
spurs
,
puffed
up
like
a
ship
under
full
sail
and
bore
down
upon
him
,
gobbling
and
gobbling
until
he
was
red
in
the
face
.
The
poor
duckling
did
not
know
where
he
dared
stand
or
where
he
dared
walk
.
He
was
so
sad
because
he
was
so
desperately
ugly
,
and
because
he
was
the
laughing
stock
of
the
whole
barnyard
.

So
it
went
on
the
first
day
,
and
after
that
things
went
from
bad
to
worse
.
The
poor
duckling
was
chased
and
buffeted
about
by
everyone
.
Even
his
own
brothers
and
sisters
abused
him
.
"
Oh
,
"
they
would
always
say
,
"
how
we
wish
the
cat
would
catch
you
,
you
ugly
thing
.
"
And
his
mother
said
,
"
How
I
do
wish
you
were
miles
away
.
"
The
ducks
nipped
him
,
and
the
hens
pecked
him
,
and
the
girl
who
fed
them
kicked
him
with
her
foot
.
29
So
he
ran
away
;
and
he
flew
over
the
fence
.
The
little
birds
in
the
bushes
darted
up
in
a
fright
.
"
That
's
because
I
'm
so
ugly
,
"
he
thought
,
and
closed
his
eyes
,
but
he
ran
on
just
the
same
until
he
reached
the
great
marsh
where
the
wild
ducks
lived
.
There
he
lay
all
night
long
,
weary
and
disheartened
.
30
When
morning
came
,
the
wild
ducks
flew
up
to
have
a
look
at
their
new
companion
.
"
What
sort
of
creature
are
you
?
"
they
asked
,
as
the
duckling
turned
in
all
directions
,
bowing
his
best
to
them
all
.
"
You
are
terribly
ugly
,
"
they
told
him
,
"
but
that
's
nothing
to
us
so
long
as
you
do
n't
marry
into
our
family
.
"
