## 丑小鸭的冒险
"扑通"一声，丑小鸭落在池塘边的芦苇丛中。她游了好久，肚子都饿得咕咕叫了，可水里只有一片沉睡的波纹。
" uglies."她轻声呢喃，低头看着自己圆滚滚的身体。阳光透过水珠折射出彩虹般的光芒，她偷偷抬眼看了一下四周。
"Who's there? "她试探性地探出头。
"Uglies. Uglies. Uglies."一群丑陋的鸭子从水里钻出来，把丑小鸭吓得差点呛到。
"Excuse me?"丑小鸭惊讶地后退两步，"We're just trying to find somewhere to sleep."
"Sleepy? Are you lost?"一个带着刺耳声音的女声传来。
丑小鸭这才发现池塘边站着一个穿着花布衣服的男孩，正冲她笑。阳光从他头上的帽子缝隙透进来，照在他温柔的眼睛里。
"我是丑小鸭。"她试探性地说，"我是丑小鸭。"
"Uglies."男孩轻笑着摇摇头，"You're a duck, not ugly."
丑小鸭愣住了。"Duck? So you're a duck too?"
"Uglies, yeah."丑小鸭又重复了一遍，"Uglies."
"Wait,"男孩温和地说，"You're not ugly at all."
丑小鸭这才明白过来，她赶紧擦了擦眼泪："谢谢。"
"Me too,"男孩笑着说，"So are you ready to help me?"他的声音突然变得严肃。
"Help you with what?"丑小鸭困惑地问。
"Find your way home,"男孩认真地说，"It's dark now."
丑小鸭这才发现天已经完全黑了下来，周围的鸭群都藏在水草里。她看着男孩，犹豫了一下："But I'm so small. I can't help you."
"Then who will?"男孩望着她，眼神温柔得像春日的阳光，"I'll be your guide."
丑小鸭这才放心地跟在男孩身边。他一边走一边轻声说："Look for the moon. It's a little way ahead."
月光透过水面洒下来，在池塘边投下一道柔和的光晕。丑小鸭跟着男孩，终于在月光下发现了自己家的形状。
"Thank you,"丑小鸭说着，蹦蹦跳跳地回到水里。
就在这时，一个红袍 wizard突然出现在池塘中央，水面上泛起一圈涟漪："You've met the ugly duck. But you are not ugly."
丑小鸭惊讶地看着这个奇怪的老人："Who are you?"
"Ah, Uplift,"老人露出一个神秘的微笑，"I'm here to help you become a star. But first, I need to find your friend."
丑小鸭跟着老人来到池塘边，看到男孩正在教一群鸭子唱歌。老人轻声说道："You are not ugly, but you are very kind. You can be happy too."
丑小鸭突然想起那个男孩说过的话："I'll be your guide."
"Thank you,"丑小鸭转身就跑，"Let's go home!"
她跑回家时，看见天空中有一个发光的月亮，月光洒在她身上，温暖而明亮。
