It was a wonderful and
sunny summer day in the city. All the ducks living in the park nearby came
together to swim and play in the lake.
Only one duck couldn‘t
join the others at the
lake. Gloria was terribly bored. She was sitting on her nest for ages,
desperatly waiting for her little chicks to see the light of the day.
Finally the moment has come‌
‌however Gloria couldn‘t
believe her eyes, when she she realized that all of
her babies were perfect, except one.
Soon the poor little
duckling got bullied around by his siblings. They took every opportunity to
make fun of him and
called him hideous and ugly,
Every night the little duckling walks
down to the lake. The perfect time to
enjoy piece and quietness. That night he
couldn‘t hold back the tears, when he saw himself in the reflection of the water. Why didn‘t he look like all the others?
The next morening the little duckling
decided to leave his home. He wanted to
search for happiniess. He was not sure if soething like that was meant to be for him, but at least he had to try.
He waddled through the big city for what felt like an eternity. Finally he found
shelter. He was exhausted, chilled through and felt incredibly lonely.
