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 him. He is no more an ugly duckling. He is a beautiful white swan.
