答案： 【实战演练】
The Ugly Duck
Once upon a time, there was a little duck. He was born ugly and looked different from his brothers and sisters. So all of them didn't like him. They laughed at him and even bullied him. What's more, his owner often kicked him. He was once lost and didn't know where to go. Because of hunger and cold, he almost lost his life. But he never lost heart and lived optimistically. One day, when he was walking beside a river, he saw himself in the river. It was indeed a beautiful swan. Finally, he spread his wings and flew into the sky.
Sometimes, ugly ducks can be swans if they can face life optimistically. So can we.
