    Once upon a time, in a peaceful lake surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers, there was a nest of ducklings hatching. Among them, one duckling looked very different from the others.

    The other ducklings were golden and fluffy, while this one was gray and patchy. She was bigger and clumsier, often tripping over her own feet. This duckling was often teased by her siblings.

    The mother duck tried to comfort her, telling her that true beauty comes from within. But the little duckling couldn't understand why she was different from her siblings.

    The teasing continued, and the gray duckling felt lonely and sad. She often gazed at her reflection in the water, hoping to see a change.
