MADAM DUCK. Well, well! He must be uglier than I thought!
FIRST DUCKLING. Besides, dear mother, he will not quack. MADAM DUCK. What is this? Did he not quack but just a moment ago? SECOND DUCKLING. He turned his toes out, but quack he would not. THIRD DUCKLING. 'T is true, dear mother. MADAM DUCK (_to the Ugly Duckling_). Quack! Quack now--at once! [_The Ugly Duckling tries to quack, but chokes. The fowls laugh and jeer at him._] GRAY GANDER. Ha, ha! There's a "quack" for you! WHITE GOOSE. Ha, ha! PLYMOUTH ROCK HEN. Ha, ha! RED ROOSTER. Ha, ha! TURKEY. Ha, ha! MADAM DUCK (_angrily_). Once more I tell you--quack! [_The Ugly Duckling tries again; chokes._] ALL FOWLS. Ha, ha, ha, ha! |
