That night, the Ugly Duckling flew away. He landed on the other side of the river.
There he met two grown-up chickens.
“Can I please stay here?” asked the Ugly Duckling politely.
“Why do we care?” said one of the chickens.
“Go away,” exclaimed the other. (Line 5)

The Ugly Duckling walked with his head down in shame. He was sad.

Suddenly, a big hungry dog came. The dog chased the Ugly Duckling.
“Woof! Woof!” The Ugly Duckling was scared. The dog sniffed and sniffed at him, then turned away.
“I am too ugly even for the big hungry dog to want,” said the Ugly Duckling. He felt heartbroken. (Line 10)

“Can I please stay here?” asked the Ugly Duckling nicely.

“Wow, they are very beautiful!” he thought, “but I’m too ugly to be their friend."
“Hi,” greeted the Ugly Duckling. The beautiful white birds looked at him. It made the Ugly Duckling feel nervous. Suddenly, the biggest white bird exclaimed, “Hey, look, we have another swan here!” (Line 20)

“No. No, I’m not. I’m an ugly duckling”, said the Ugly Duckling. He shook his head.
The beautiful white swans smiled and said, “Look at yourself in the water and tell us.”
