A great hunt was held; the hunters lay around the swamp; yes, some sat up in the branches of the trees, which stretched far over the reed.,
A second one was struck against the wall,
and so the duckling was allowed to remain on trial for three weeks,
And the matches were glowing so bright, brighter than at noon-day.,
And they clapped their hands and danced about, ran to their parents, and bread and cake were thrown into the water,
As they climbed higher and higher in the air, the ugly little duckling felt wonderfully weary,
At last he became exhausted, and lay still and helpless, frozen fast in the ice.,
but now she became colder, but she didn't dare to go home,
But the poor duckling that had hatched last and looked so ugly was bitten, bumped and fooled by both the ducks and the chickens.,
but with every night, the space on which he swam became smaller and smaller,
First later on the day it became quiet; but the poor duckling did not dare to get up yet; it waited several hours more, before it turned around, and then it rushed out of the swamp as fast as it could.,
He was red with anger.,
his handwriting got messier,
In a corner formed by two houses, one of which protruded a little more than the other, she squatted down.,
it gave light, and where it shone against the wall, it went as transparent as a veil,
it swam in the water, dived under with his head, but was treated with contempt by all other animals, because of its ugly appearance.,
it was sad because it looked ugly and was mocked by everyone else,
It went like that the first day, and later it got worse and worse.,
Ron said it made him sick,
She again struck a match on the wall, and again it became bright around her; in the brightness stood her old grandmother, clear and shining, yet loving in her appearance.
