El cuento comienza con el nacimiento de una oruga en una hoja. La oruga tiene mucha hambre y se come todo lo que pilla por el camino; frutas, dulces, helado y fiambre. Cuando llegó la noche le empezó a doler mucho la tripa y al día siguiente decidió comer un poquito de hoja lo que le hizo sentirse mejor. Ya no tenía hambre y por otro lado nunca jamás volvería a ser una oruga pequeña ni delgada. Por último, se fabricó un capullo y se quedó ahí durante dos semanas. Después, lo mordisqueó y cuando salió se había convertido en una bonita mariposa.

It is a beautiful summer day. The sun shines warmly on an old house near
a river. Behind the house a mother duck is sitting on ten eggs.
"Tchick." One by one all the eggs break open.
All except one. This one is the biggest egg of all.
Mother duck sits and sits on the big egg. At last it breaks open,
"Tchick, tchick!"
Out jumps the last baby duck. It looks big and strong. It is grey and
ugly.
The next day mother duck takes all her little ducks to the river. She
jumps into it. All her baby ducks jump in. The big ugly duckling jumps
in too.
They all swim and play together. The ugly duckling swims better than all
the other ducklings.
- Quack, quack! Come with me to the farm yard! - says mother duck to her
baby ducks and they all follow her there.
The farm yard is very noisy. The poor duckling is so unhappy there. The
hens peck him, the rooster flies at him, the ducks bite him, the farmer
kicks him.
At last one day he runs away. He comes to a river. He sees many
beautiful big birds swimming there. Their feathers are so white, their
necks so long, their wings so pretty. The little duckling looks and
looks at them. He wants to be with them. He wants to stay and watch
them. He knows they are swans. Oh, how he wants to be beautiful like
them.
Now it is winter. Everything is white with snow. The river is covered
with ice. The ugly duckling is very cold and unhappy.
Spring comes once again. The sun shines warmly. Everything is fresh and
green.
One morning the ugly duckling sees the beautiful swans again. He knows
them. He wants so much to swim with them in the river. But he is afraid
of them. He wants to die. So he runs into the river. He looks into the
water. There in the water he sees a beautiful swan. It is he! He is no
more an ugly duckling. He is a beautiful white swan.
