The ugly duckling is a tale that has been passed down for generations. It is the story of a duckling who is born different from all the other ducks. He is ridiculed and rejected by his peers, but he eventually learns to embrace his uniqueness and becomes the most beautiful swan of them all. The ugly duckling teaches us that it is okay to be different, and that beauty comes from within. No matter how others may see us, we should always believe in ourselves. -Matte Cover
