THE UGLY DUCKLING

Once upon a time, nine duckling hatched.

Eight of them were pretty and fluffy and yellow, but one of them was not yellow and not pretty. "You are not like the rest." said his mother. Eight other duckling said "Ugly duckling! Ugly Duckling!" He was always alone. He became sad and began to cry. He run away. The ugly duckling is in some grass. He slept there. He was scared and lonely. The next morning, he looked for food. Then, some wild ducks came to him and asked him. "What kind of bird are you?" The ugly duckling said "I am a duck." They teased. "You can not be a duck." The ugly duckling ran and ran until he came to another lake. He began to stay here alone. One day, the ugly duckling saw some flying swans. They said to him "Come with us!" But he couldn't fly.Then he grew and grew. He became big and storong. His wings became beautiful. He flew to swans. "Who me? You don't want to me. I'm just an ugly duckling." said the ugly duckling. "A duckling? You are a swan. A beautiful swan, just like us!" they said. 196

Have you ever watched “EDWARD SCISSORHANDS?” If you have not watched this movie, I want you to watch this.
I watched this movie about two months ago on DVD. I was moved by this movie. I cried a little. This movie’s leading actor is Johnny Depp. When the movie was made, he was 27 years old. I like him very much. I think that his acting is very good and he is very cool. Do you think so? This movie’s director is Tim Burton. I like his movies. Do you know Tim Burton? He made some movies with Johnny Depp. For example, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and so on. I watched all their movies. Tim Burton’s movies are interesting but a little scary. I want to watch their movies more. 509
