Once upon a time, there was a little duckling living with its mother duck and siblings by the river. This little duckling was different from the others; it had golden-yellow fur, unlike its pure white siblings.

This little duckling was often visited by friends who would mock and tease it. Even Mother Duck didn't seem to like it.

One day, feeling discouraged, the little duckling ran away from home. It kept walking until it reached a big, scary forest. It felt lonely and sat crying under a big tree.

Suddenly, a large flock of wild geese flew down. They came across the crying duckling and felt sorry for it. They invited the little duckling to stay with them.

The little duckling was very happy and decided to join the wild geese. They welcomed it with open wings and honked with joy!

The duckling learned to fly high, swim fast, and find food from the wild geese. It made many new friends who loved and accepted it.

One day, the little duckling was swimming when it saw a familiar riverbank. It was the river where it had grown up!

The little duckling felt brave and decided to visit its old home. It waddled up to the riverbank, where Mother Duck and its siblings saw it.

Mother Duck was astonished. She finally realized how beautiful and special the little duckling was. The siblings stopped teasing and admired it too.

From that day on, the golden-feathered duckling was loved and cherished by both the wild geese and its family at the river.

The little duckling learned that it was unique and special, just like everyone else. It felt happy and proud.

And they lived happily ever after, with the golden duckling bringing joy and sparkle wherever it went.
