Unit 6 Growing Up;Story time;A

原文：

Once there was a mother duck.
She was sitting on seven little eggs.
One day,the eggs started to open.
One by one,six little yellow ducklings came out of the eggs.

There was still one egg left.
The mother duck sat on that egg again.
Two days later, out came a duckling.
But this duckling wasn't yellow.
It was grey,and it had a long, thin neck.

The other ducklings didn't like the grey duckling.
They didn't want to play with him.
They said he was ugly.
The little ugly duckling was sad.

Summer came.
The ducklings all grew bigger and the ugly duckling was the biggest.
One day they went to a farm.
A chicken bit him, and the farmer kicked him.
The ugly duckling felt terrible.

The ugly duckling ran away.
He went to the tall grass by the lake to live by himself.
He felt lonely every day.

Autumn came.
The ugly duckling got bigger and bigger.
He swam by himself every day so he got stronger,too.

Then winter came.
It was very cold,and there was ice on the lake.
The ugly duckling had no one to keep him warm.
He felt very cold.

Finally,spring came.
One day,a little girl came to the lake with her mother.'Look at the swan,'she said,'It's beautiful!
The ugly duckling looked at himself in the water.
He wasn't a duckling.
He was a swan,a white swan with a long neck.
He wasn't ugly.
He was beautiful！
