the duck story

Another version of the ugly duckling

Once upon a time, there lived a ugly duckling in a much protected duck family. Being the youngest in line, ugly duckling got almost everything he wanted. Ugly duckling never knew what it is like to be out alone in the forest. He never need to go out in search of food. Everything seemed to always be well prepared for him. As years passed, ugly duckling was forced to be independant. Ugly duckling met lots of frens in the forest. But never knew who was true to him. Ugly duckling got cheated a few times, but he didnt give up on life. He went on searching for a purpose in life. But ducks do get tired at times. Some point in time while roaming in the forest, he met a mushroom. Ugly duckling thought "heh! tt mushroom looks like a potential good fren! why not go forward and try it out?" Ugly duckling summoned all his courage and took the first step towards the potential friendship. Never did ugly duckling realise that he has overdone things at time. Ugly duckling didnt noe tt he has irritated mushroom and soon. The relationship turned sour. However, ugly duckling realised tt in his journey so far, he has met a rat who was true to him. In times wen ugly duckling is down, rat never fail to appear right in front of him, to console him, and gif him a piece of advise. On the journey through the forest, rat was no longer anywhere to be seen. But ugly duckling could always sense him.. Gaining enlightenment frm the rat in times of need. halfway through the journey, ugly duckling met with a difficult choice. whether to go for a competition held at the monkey's annual ms. animal competition. after much thinking, ugly duckling told himself " you can do it!". ugly duckling began to do research on the the competition, trying to perfect himself in anyway. But ugly duckling found that what he could do is limited. time flies. in no time, the day of competiton came. ugly duckling found himself trembling with fear. fearing tt all his efforts will go down to drain, fearing tt he will disappoint himself, and most importantly, ppl arnd him. ugly duckling took small careful steps, to the venue of competition. he focused well on everything to b learnt for the competition. he made full use of the time given. and he tried to perfect his skills. "wow! not bad! i m performing better than i tot i wld!" full of confidence, ugly duckling told himself, he can do it. "next up, we haf participant ugly duckling!" its ugly duckling's turn to challenge the participants. up on stage, ugly duckling saw the reflection of himself from the river. he looked up again and saw his frens, eager and waiting to see his performance. he looked at the judges. and wen the bell rang, signifying the strt of the competition, ugly duckling felt as if his brain was no longer with him. he has forgotten every single thing tt he has researched on, every single thing tt he has learned. Ugly duckling didnt noe why. He was never stressed by the many eyes staring. the only explanation was ugly duckling thought he was way too ugly as compared to the rest of the contestants. as expected, ugly duckling lost the competition. ugly duckling was very upset. ugly duckling felt tt he has let everyone down, let himself down and let all his past efforts go down to drain, jux because at the very last min, he lost all his confidence, seeing the many contestants together wif him. Ugly duckling regretted not giving his very best. but everything was just too late. no one came to console ugly duckling. but ugly duckling dreamt of rat again. in his dreams, rat tried to console ugly duckling, telling him tt he should move on. but nothing seems to get through. ugly duckling was too tired to tink. his brain was filled with the competition and could no longer fill in anymore stuffs. On his journey on, ugly duckling seemed so lost. when people called ugly duckling the very next morning, he took a long time to realise tt someone has been calling him. ugly duckling tried to hide away frm reality. in the nite, ugly duckling saw rat in his dreams. rat asked ugly duckling to not act happy wen he is sad, but be his true self. rat told ugly duckling tt he shld move on in life. not to brood over the past. ugly duckling wanted to sae alot to rat. but he seem to not be able to speak in the dream. ugly duckling jux wanna sae. he find no pt in showin he is sad cux no one wil care. this wil onli bring more gossips regarding ugly duckling. ugly duckling is afraid tt tis will affect his journey through the forest. ugly duckling needs time to get over some things. but seriously, ugly duckling can be unpractical at times, tinking of the impossibles. but, ugly duckling wanna thank rat and green bird. for being there wen he is in need of someone. at least ugly duckling no longer feel tt unwanted. at least ugly duckling noes tt someone still cares for this ugly soul. but will this ugly duckling ever turn to a swan? u never noe...........................
