SCRIPT:
Narrator: Once upon a time on an old farm, there was a duck family, and Mother Duck had been sitting on a clutch of new eggs.
Mother Duck: It was about time that my eggs hatch! … 1,2,3,4,5,6 ducklings I have!
Narrator: But something was not right.
Mother Duck: Mmmm… that egg didn’t hatch, and it is bigger than the rest… I don`t remember laying that seventh egg… I wonder how it got here… or did I count the eggs wrongly?
Narrator: But before she had time to think about it, the last egg finally hatched. A strange looking duckling with gray feathers that should have been yellow gazed at a worried mother. The ducklings grew quickly, but Mother Duck had a secret worry.
Mother Duck: I can’t understand how this ugly duckling can be one of mine!.
Narrator: The grey duckling certainly wasn’t pretty, and since he ate far more than his brothers, he was outgrowing them. As the days went by, the poor ugly duckling became more and more unhappy. His brothers didn’t want to play with him.
6 Brothers: Stay away from us! We don´t want to play with you. You are so ugly, you are not one of us!
Narrator: And all the farmyard folks simply laughed at him.
Pig, Cow, Goat: Ha, ha, ha.. you look so funny! Where did you come from? Did you get lost? Stay away from us, you don´t belong here.
Narrator: He felt sad and lonely, while Mother Duck did her best to console him.
Mother Duck: Poor little ugly duckling! Why are you so different from the others?
Narrator: And the ugly duckling felt worse than ever. He secretly wept at night. He felt nobody wanted him.
Ugly Duckling: Nobody loves me, they all tease me! Why am I different from my brothers? sniff, sniff..
Narrator: Then one day, at sunrise, he ran away from the farmyard. He stopped at a pond and began to question all the other birds.
Ugly Duckling: Do you
