This lesson has no individual words.
and as soon as they were out of his sight, he dived under the water until the bottom, and when he rose again he was almost beside himself with excitement,
and before he well knew how it had happened, he found himself in a large garden, in which fragrant elders bent their long green branches down to the water,
and drink some swamp water,
And from the trees appeared suddenly three beautiful white swans.,
and on the hedge sat a raven and made her complain,
and so the duckling was allowed to remain on trial for three weeks,
And so the duckling went away,
and the duckling sat in a corner, feeling very low spirited,
And the other children rejoiced with him,
And the other swans bowed before him.,
and the smallest shouted: “there is a new swan!”,
And the swans swam around him and stroked him with their beaks.,
and the tomcat said,
and then he began to feel such a great longing for a swim on the water, that he could not help telling the hen.,
As they climbed higher and higher in the air, the ugly little duckling felt wonderfully weary,
Ask the tomcat about it.,
At last he became exhausted, and lay still and helpless, frozen fast in the ice.,
bent his head over, and awaited nothing but the death.,
but he felt something towards them as he had never felt for anything else,
but no eggs came
etc.
