Ugly duckling thus went on a journey in search of love and belonging.
When we hear the story of ugly duckling, it's often emphasized that the ugly duckling eventually turns into the most beautiful bird - a swan,
which gained him admirations from everyone else. In real life, the journey of finding one's identity and belongings don't necessarily reflect in looks or others' opinions.

Our duckling will not change its appearance. Ever. It takes the form of a rubber duck.
