One day, Mother Duck is waiting for her babies to come out of their eggs.

She is very happy. But one egg is still not broken.

“Crack!” The egg breaks. A big ducking jumps out. He is much bigger than

the others, and looks ugly. Grandma Duck tells Mother Duck it is not her child

but a turkey(火鸡). Mother Duck doesn’t think so. She loves it very much.

But his brothers and sisters don’t like him. They don’t play with him. They

even bite(咬) him. He leaves home quietly.

Ugly ducking meets the frog in the grass. But the frogs says, “You’re too ugly. I don’t play with you!” Then he meets the dogs. And the dogs ask him to go away. The ugly ducking is very sad.

He goes on walking. He watches some swans(天鹅) flying in the sky. “How beautiful. I want to fly like them.” Suddenly, he flies. “oh,I can fly! I can fly! I didn’t know that before.” he says happily and loudly.

“Oh, you are my son. Welcome back.” Says the Queen(王后). Ugly ducking goes back home as a prince(王子). How happy the ugly ducking feels!

My daughter Tina took her teddy bear(泰迪熊)everywhere with her. She

loved to draw teddy bears.

His cousin Mike broke his leg, so we went to the hospital to visit him.

This was Tina’s first time seeing so many sick children. She went to a little

boy and gave the teddy bear to him, but the nurse said it may be dirty and bad for sick children.

After we left the hospital, we went to the park. Soon I found Tina talking to a group of children about her drawing. She asked them to draw as many as teddy bears as they could and bring them in the park the next week.

On the next Tuesday, we went to the park again. When I was walking, Tina came to me with lots of drawings in her hands.

“OK, Mom! Now we can go!”

“Go? Where, honey?”
