Description

The moral concept of "The Ugly Duckling" is that inner beauty will overshadow the physical appearance. Its understated social moral is buried within the tale: To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg. A human parallel would concern a child who looks or acts different from the other children around him/her. (Wikipedia)
