"If only I could look like them, just for a day!" said the duckling, admiringly. Winter came and the water in the reed bed froze. The poor duckling left home to seek food in the snow. He dropped exhausted to the ground, but a farmer found him and put him in his big jacket pocket.
"Ill take him home to my children. Theyll look after him. Poor thing, hes frozen!" The duckling was showered with kindly care at the farmers house. In this way, the ugly duckling was able to survive the bitterly cold winter.
