UGLY DUCKLING (_weeping_). I'm sorry--I'd quack if I could. MADAME DUCK. Ah, if you were only far away! [Illustration: THE UGLY DUCKLING] FIRST DUCKLING. I wish the cat would eat you! SECOND DUCKLING. I wish the swans would kill you! WHITE GOOSE. And they will when they see him--you may be sure of that. GRAY GANDER (_nodding_). Aye, they'll not suffer such an ugly creature to swim in the brook! RED ROOSTER. We must drive him off--that's clear! (_Running at the Ugly Duckling._) Come now, out with you! PLYMOUTH ROCK HEN (_pecking Duckling_). Out with you! UGLY DUCKLING. Mother, save me! MADAM DUCK. Call not on me! GRAY GANDER (_striking Duckling with his wings_). Out with you! |
