The mother duck could tell from the shape of the egg that one of her babies would be different. When it hatched the other ducks chase, peck, and kick him around. After a while the poor little duck runs away to a warm cottage. There he has several adventures including running from a hunting dog and getting trapped in the ice. After a cold winter, he decides to follow a flock of birds. To his surprise, they welcome him. He is confused by this until he catches his reflection in a pond. What he didn't realize was that all winter he was transforming into a beautiful swan.
