The Adventures of Deason: The Honest Duckling
Deason, a young grey duckling, embarks on a journey to find acceptance and friendship. He struggles with being different, facing rejection and loneliness. Through bravery and honesty, Deason discovers his true beauty and earns the friendship he longs for. Will Deason's courage lead him to a happy ending?
Deason, the grey duckling, felt different from his yellow siblings. Everyone called him names and said he was ugly. Deason just wanted to belong and play with his siblings. He often wondered, "Why am I so different?" But his family didn't have the answer. Deason was determined to find out why he was different and hoped to be accepted.
As Deason waddled closer to the pond, his siblings splashed water at him. - Go away, you're too ugly to play with us, they quacked. Deason felt tears welling up but he didn't let them see. He turned around sadly, realizing they wouldn’t let him join. Feeling lonely, he walked away from the pond, wishing he could be like them.
Deason wandered into the meadow, hoping to find new friends. He saw some rabbits and thought, "Maybe they will play with me." But the rabbits giggled and said, - We can't play with an ugly duck! Deason's heart sank. He was starting to think that maybe nobody would ever want to be his friend.
Feeling hopeless, Deason sat by a stream and watched the water flow. - Maybe I should just give up, he sighed. He thought about going back to his family, but the fear of more rejection stopped him. Deason closed his eyes and wished he could be anything but himself. He felt like he could never be happy being different.
Suddenly, a wise old owl perched nearby and spoke to Deason. - Being honest about who you are is the key to finding your true beauty, said the owl. Deason listened carefully, feeling a spark of hope. - But will anyone ever accept me? he asked the owl. - True friends will see your beauty, the owl replied. Inspired, Deason decided to be brave and honest.
Emboldened by the owl's words, Deason returned home with newfound courage. He saw his siblings and said, - I may be different, but I'm proud of who I am! His honesty surprised them, and they began to see him differently. - You're beautiful just the way you are, they quacked happily. Deason felt joy and knew he had found acceptance by being true to himself.
