The Ugly Duckling
A Lonely Heart
Barnaby spent most of his days alone, watching the butterflies flutter by. He'd sit by the Whispering Willow, its branches drooping like sad smiles. He longed for a friend, someone who wouldn't laugh at his bumpy beak and blustery feathers. He dreamed of a place where he could belong, where being different was okay. The farmyard felt colder and colder each day.
