BR 2-08: The Ugly Duckling

I read a book. It is "The Ugly Duckling". I had read the book in Japanese before, but I forgot the story. So, I want to read the book and I borrowed it in the library. The book was story by an ugly duckling. When the ugly duckling was a little, he wasn’t liked by everyone. He was bullied and avoided but he didn’t lose. Now, bullying is increasing more and more in this society. There aren’t a few people who commit suicide by bullying. I thought that this book suggests message for such people. For the book that a little child can read, this is deep book.

When I read this book, I also felt pity for the ugly duckling first, but he became swan and he was admitted by everything I was glad of it. I thought other animals were wicked because they avoided and bullied the ugly duckling only his ugly. If I were animal I don't want to do same thing to him. It was good to read this book.
