What strikes me as odd with the ugly duckling story is that the ugly duckling turns out to be a swan. What about all those other ugly ducklings that aren’t swans? They’re just ugly ducklings. Where’s the story about the ugly duckling that grows up to be attractive? Or, better yet, how about the ugly duckling that is just ugly and learns to accept that fact and lives a good life regardless?
Maybe that means I just need to write that book. Ugly children need to have a role model.
