Fairy Tale Essay
If you’ve ever read the story “The Ugly Duckling”, which I’m assuming most people did as a child, you’d know that there is a wonderful moral to the story. The moral is: you should never be ashamed of who you naturally are, because whether it’s tomorrow or a year from now, you are going to be happy with what you become. Always keep dreaming of and trying to be the best version of yourself that you possibly can, and one day you will be in the exact spot you wanted to be in all along.
This tale taught me a very valuable lesson that I have carried with me throughout my life, and it will continue to help me through the rest of it. With that, I will say that it will be one of the first stories I read to my children when that part of my life comes around. I would hope that it ends up helping them like it did me. Because as it turns out, when I was little, I was teased a lot, put down, bullied, and that put my self-confidence level at an all time low. I myself, felt like the “ugly” duckling, an outcast. When I was finally old enough to fully comprehend and use those important lessons I had learned to my advantage, it made a world of a difference.
It showed me that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that people, or animals in this case, seem to always dislike what they don’t understand. The other ducklings in the story picked on the little gray duck because he was different from them, and they didn’t understand why. People are the exact same way even at my age now, and it’s sad, but it’s something that becomes easier and easier to deal with as you age.
In my opinion, this tale can only do good things for anyone who reads it. Whether it’s a child, a teenager, or even an adult. Anyone can take away some great values from it. Although, I think it can do especially great things for the children who read it. I know, from a personal experience standpoint, that it was a great influence on the way I thought about other people. I never wanted
