The Ugly Duckling And New Friend

Orientation
One upon time, a mother duck sat on her eggs. She felt tired of sitting on them. She
just wished the eggs would break out. Several days later, she got her wish. The eggs cracked
and some cute little ducklings appeared. “Peep, peep” the little ducklings cried. “Quack,
quack” their mother greeted in return.However the largest egg had not cracked. The mother
duck sat on it for several days. Finally, it cracked and a huge ugly duckling waddled out. The
mother duck looked at him in surprise. He was so big and very gray. He didn’t look like the
others at all. He was like a turkey.

Complication
When the mother duck brought the children to the pond for their first swimming
lesson. The huge grey duckling splashed and paddled about just as nicely as the other
ducklings did. “That is not a turkey chick. He is my very own son and quite handsome” the
mother said proudly. However, the other animals didn’t agree. They hissed and made fun of
him day by day. Even his own sisters and brothers were very unkind. “You are very ugly”
they quacked. The little poor duckling was very unhappy. “I wish I looked like them” he
thought to himself. One day, the ugly duckling run away and hid in the bushes. The sad
duckling lived alone through the cold and snow winter.

Resolution
Finally the spring flowers began to bloom. While he was swimming in the pond, he
saw three large white swans swimming toward him. “Oh, dear. these beautiful birds will
laugh and peck me too” he said to himself. But the swans did not attack him. Instead, they
swam around him and stroked him with their bills. As the ugly duckling bent his neck to
speak to them, he saw his reflection in the water. He could not believe his eyes. “I am not an
ugly duckling but a beautiful swam” he exclaimed.

He was very happy. From that day on, he swam and played with his new friends and
was happier than he had never been
. Suatu kala, seekot ibu bebek duduk sedang mengerami telur-telurnya. Dia sudah merasa
lelah selalu mendudukinya dan berharap telur-telur akan segera menetas. Beberapa hari
kemudian, harapannya pun terwujud. Telur itu retak dan beberapa bebek kecil yang lucu
muncul dari dalamnya. “Peep , peep” bebek kecil menangis. “Quack, quack” ibu bebek
mnyambutnya. Akan tetapi satu telur terbesar masih belum menetas. Ibu bebek pun
mengerami lagi selama beberapa hari. Akhirnya, telur terbesar itupun retak dan muncullah
seekero itik yang besar bertampang buruk rupa berjalan tertatih-tatih keluar dari telur itu. Ibu
bebek pun menatapnya dengan heran. Ia begitu besar dan berwarna abu-abu. Ia tidak terlihat
seperti saudara lainnya sama sekali. Ia mirip seperti kalkun.

Ketika ibu bebek membawa anak-anaknya ke kolam untuk belajar renang pertama kalinya.
Dia memercik dan mendayung sama baiknya seperti bebek lainnya. “Dia itu bukan kalkun.
Dia adalah anak ku yang cukup tampan” kata ibunyadengan bangga. Namun, hewan lain
tidak setuju. Mereka mendesis dan mengolok-oloknya hari demi hari. Bahkan saudara-
saudara sendiri juga tidak berlaku baik kepadanya. “Kau sangat jelek” kata mereka. Diapun
merasa sangat tidak nyaman. “Aku berharap punya rupa seperti mereka” pikirnya. Suatu
waktu Dia sudah tidak tahan lagi dan berlari, bersembunyi di semak-semak. Dia merasa sedih
dan tinggal sendirian ditengah musim dingin yang bersalju.

Akhirnya musim semipun tiba. Ketika dia sedang berenang di kolam, ada tiga angsa putih
besar berenang ke arahnya. “Astaga. burung itu pasti akan menertawakanku dan mematuk
aku juga” katanya dalam hati. Ternyata angsa itu tidak menyerangnya. Sebaliknya, para
angsa itu berenang disekitaranya dan mengelus-elusnya. Ketika dia sedang membungkukkan
lehernya untuk berbicara kepada para angsa itu, ia melihat bayangannya sendiri didalam air.
Diapun tidak bisa percaya apa yang dilihatnya. “Aku bukanlah si itik buruk rupa tapi aku
adalah sekeor angsah yang cantik” serunya.

Dia merasa sangat senang. Sejak hari itu,dia berenang dan bermain dengan teman-teman
barunya dan merasah lebih bahagia dari pada sebelumnya.
