The story I've read is "The Ugly Duckling". The theme of the story is acceptance. The story builds up the character of an ugly duckling and how he was bullied because of being different. His mother told him not to mind the other ducklings bullying him and go on walking. At the end, they discovered that he was not a duck, that's why he was different.
