    A story of two Ugly Ducklings—or maybe five. Perhaps even many full-grown ducks who believe they are already mature—swimming around in search of a place where they belong, without realizing that the world around them feels too big only because they themselves are too small.

    Ugly Ducklings drifting in waters both deep and vast, unable to see any destination. One little duckling swims in circles, crying loudly, feeling unbearably miserable.

    But time passed. Seventeen seasons came and went. And finally, it understood—the waters weren't too vast. It was they, themselves, who were still too small. They simply needed time for their courage and wisdom to grow enough to match their bodies.
