When spring arrives, a flock of swans descends on the lake. He spends a miserable winter alone in the outdoors, mostly hiding in a cave on the lake that partly freezes over. Winter arrives.Ī farmer finds and carries the freezing little duckling home, but the foundling is frightened by the farmer’s noisy children and flees the house.
He is delighted and excited, but he cannot join them, for he is too young and cannot fly. The duckling sees a flock of migrating wild swans. He finds a home with an old woman, but her cat and hen tease and taunt him mercilessly and once again he sets off alone. He wanders sadly from the barnyard and lives with wild ducks and geese until hunters slaughter the flocks. One of the little birds is perceived by the other birds and animals on the farm as an ugly little creature and suffers much verbal and physical abuse from them. When the story begins, a mother duck's eggs hatch.
