"He could not understand" "Why to the bird that lived in the yard he looked so ugly, why they all laughed at him and chased him." "[Solemn music]" "The duckling did not know the name of these beautiful birds, but he admired them so as he did not admire anyone else." "Oh, how he wanted to fly away with them!"

"[Humming]" "I Do not know how to do that." "Well maybe you know how to make sparks?" "Like this." "Oh ..." "No." "So go, if you don't know how to do anything!" "[Fast Music]" "Meow!" "[Fast Music]" "Again the duckling was left on his own." "[Laughs]" "[Laughs]" "[Frog laugh]" "Even they laugh at me." "Here in the cavern on the shore of the Forest Lake , the poor duckling settled himself." "He was very bored on his own but he was afraid to look others in the eye." "And only at night, when no one could see him," "He crawled out to swim, fly and spread their wings." "But when the morning came, the duckling would always withdraw in his cave." "And so the summer passed." "During this time the duckling grew stronger, but he couldn't bear his loneliness." "Autumn came." "The days grew colder and colder." "The birds that lived on the lake started to fly away to warmer places." "With anguish he watched them go." "He felt very bad." "And then, one frosty morning," "He saw those lovely birds again." "They were preparing for a long journey." "It really seems" "You can freeze to death here!" "Better to try and join these majestic birds than to die here from the cold!" "Oh!" "The ugly duckling never had dreamed of such a joy!" "The beautiful swans took him into their family!" "He was incredibly happy, because he met real friends." "[Happy music]" "How handsome he is!" "He came to say hello to me!" "After all, we are related to swans." "But no one in the poultry yard realised that this beautiful bird flying over them was their former" "Ugly Duckling."
