Then there's Freddy, who she has known all her childhood, but now won't leave her alone. One summer afternoon finds Madeline and Freddy swimming at two different areas of the beach as a storm comes up. Freddy is looking at her as no one has before.

All the Ugly Duckling´s trials are acted out to the accompaniment of Tchaikovsky´s "Swan´s Lake". There is a happy ending; the Ugly Duckling turns into a beautiful swan and soar over the envious "ordinary" birds in the poultry yard. There is a beautiful swan in every child, even if he doesn´t look like other children. One just has to believe and hold on to hope. | |
