	The Ugly Duckling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ugly Duckling (Danish: Den grimme ælling) is a classic-contemporary story by Hans Christian Andersen about a duckling, notably larger, clumsier and uglier than the other ducklings in his brood.
		A mother duck hatches her eggs and, while most of her ducklings are normal, one is gray, too large, and too clumsy to fit in among the others.
		The ugly duckling doesn't fit in because he is physically ugly, and only when it turns out that he has grown into a swan - something more physically beautiful than a duck - is he accepted.

		Then the Duckling noticed that one of the hinges of the door had given way, and the door hung so slanting that the Duckling could slip through the crack into the room; and that is what it did.
		And the Duckling sat in a corner and was melancholy; then the fresh air and the sunshine streamed in; and it was seized with such a strange longing to swim on the water, that it could not help telling the Hen of it.
		The Duckling was forced to swim about in the water, to prevent the surface from freezing entirely; but every night the hole in which it swam about became smaller and smaller.

	The Ugly Duckling (1931) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Then the duckling hatches, and we are startled to see that he resembles a caricature of a 19th century minstrel performer: his body is grayish but his head is solid fl, except for his eyes and his large white bill.
		The duckling is dismayed at this rejection, and from then on strives to prove himself worthy of acceptance.
		But the most intriguing aspect of the 1931 UGLY DUCKLING, as far as I'm concerned, is the unmistakable message that no one should be judged by appearance, nor should the "other" be blindly rejected without a hearing.
