The ugly Duckling
Andersen's Tale
Oh ! how good it was outside in the country! It was summer. The wheat was
yellow, green oats, hay was collected in piles in the green meadows, and the
stork walked on its long red legs and spoke Egyptian, for its
mother had taught him this language. Around the fields and meadows there were
great forests, and in the midst of the forests of deep lakes; yes, really, he
was good in the country. In full sun rose an old castle surrounded
deep moat, and from the base wall to the water sprouted
broad-leaved burdocks, so tall that small children could hide
standing behind the bigger ones: the place was as wild as the most
thick forest, and a duck was there on its nest she was brooding her ducklings which
had to come out of eggs, but she was starting to have enough, because this
had been going on for a long time, and we rarely came to see it; the other ducks
liked to swim in the moat rather than climb and stay under a
burdock leaf to chat with her.
