So
he
flew
into
the
water
and
swam
toward
the
splendid
swans
.
They
saw
him
,
and
swept
down
upon
him
with
their
rustling
feathers
raised
.
"
Kill
me
!
"
said
the
poor
creature
,
and
he
bowed
his
head
down
over
the
water
to
wait
for
death
.
But
what
did
he
see
there
,
mirrored
in
the
clear
stream
?
He
beheld
his
own
image
,
and
it
was
no
longer
the
reflection
of
a
clumsy
,
dirty
,
gray
bird
,
ugly
and
offensive
.
He
himself
was
a
swan
!
Being
born
in
a
duck
yard
does
not
matter
,
if
only
you
are
hatched
from
a
swan
's
egg
.

He
felt
quite
glad
that
he
had
come
through
so
much
trouble
and
misfortune
,
for
now
he
had
a
fuller
understanding
of
his
own
good
fortune
,
and
of
beauty
when
he
met
with
it
.
The
great
swans
swam
all
around
him
and
stroked
him
with
their
bills
.

Several
little
children
came
into
the
garden
to
throw
grain
and
bits
of
bread
upon
the
water
.

The
smallest
child
cried
,
"
Here
's
a
new
one
,
"
and
the
others
rejoiced
,
"
yes
,
a
new
one
has
come
.
"
They
clapped
their
hands
,
danced
around
,
and
ran
to
bring
their
father
and
mother
.
75
And
they
threw
bread
and
cake
upon
the
water
,
while
they
all
agreed
,
"
The
new
one
is
the
most
handsome
of
all
.
He
's
so
young
and
so
good-looking
.
"
The
old
swans
bowed
in
his
honor
.
76
Then
he
felt
very
bashful
,
and
tucked
his
head
under
his
wing
.
He
did
not
know
what
this
was
all
about
.
He
felt
so
very
happy
,
but
he
was
n't
at
all
proud
,
for
a
good
heart
never
grows
proud
.
He
thought
about
how
he
had
been
persecuted
and
scorned
,
and
now
he
heard
them
all
call
him
the
most
beautiful
of
all
beautiful
birds
.
The
lilacs
dipped
their
clusters
into
the
stream
before
him
,
and
the
sun
shone
so
warm
and
so
heartening
.
He
rustled
his
feathers
and
held
his
slender
neck
high
,
as
he
cried
out
with
full
heart
:
"
I
never
dreamed
there
could
be
so
much
happiness
,
when
I
was
the
ugly
duckling
.
"
