Bedtime Story
Join a misunderstood little duckling as he goes on an adventure to find where he belongs, only to discover his true beauty as a swan!
Once upon a time, in a sunny pond, lived a little duckling. This duckling was not like the others. His feathers were gray, and he looked strange, making him feel sad and alone.
The other ducklings swam around him, quacking and splashing. They laughed at his looks. The little duckling sighed and wished he could be like them. He decided to leave the pond to find a place where he belonged.

He waddled through the tall grass and met a wise old owl. The owl looked down with kind eyes and asked, 'Why do you look so sad?' The duckling replied, 'I want to find where I belong.'

'Follow your heart,' said the owl. 'You will find where you fit in.' Inspired, the duckling continued his journey across fields and under trees, searching for friends.

In a beautiful garden, he saw colorful birds singing sweet songs. The duckling approached them but the birds squawked, 'You don't belong here!' Feeling down, he turned away and kept going.

Next, he found a busy farm. The cows mooed, and pigs snorted. But the animals only said, 'You're too ugly!' The duckling felt disheartened, but he didn't give up.

As he wandered further, he stumbled upon a shimmering lake. It was so beautiful, and he gazed at himself in the water. 'Will I ever find where I belong?' he whispered to his reflection.

Suddenly, he noticed big white birds swimming gracefully. They were swans! The little duckling felt drawn to them and swam closer, watching in awe. They seemed so elegant and lovely.

The swans looked at him and said, 'Come join us!' He felt nervous but swam over. To his surprise, they welcomed him with open wings, showing him their world.

With time, the duckling grew into a stunning swan, his feathers white and beautiful. Finally, he realized he had always belonged with the swans, and he was never ugly at all.
