Anak itik yang hodoh itu pun terpaksa berlalu dari situ.

Hari semakin lewat dan cuaca pula semakin sejuk. Dia terus berjalan hingga bertemu sebuah pondok. Penghuni pondok itu membenarkan dia masuk. Di dalam pondok itu, ada seekor kucing dan ayam betina. Bolehkah kamu bertelur? Tanya ayam betina. Tidak, jawab anak itik yang hodoh. Jika begitu, kamu pergi dari sini! kata ayam betina dan kucing itu. Sekali lagi anak itik yang hodoh terpakasa membawa diri. Ke mana-mana sahaja dia pergi,binatangbinatang lain akan berkata, Betapa buruk dan hodohnya kamu! Apabila musim sejuk tiba, seluruh kawasan mula diliputi salji. Anak itik yang hodoh tidak tahu ke mana hendak berlindung. Akibat terlalu lapar dan letih,akhirnya dia tertidur di atas salji. Keesokan paginya, seorang petani yang baik hati membawanya pulang. Petani itu memberikannya makan. Anak itik yang hodoh itu menyangkakan bahawa dirinya selamat di situ.

The ugly duckling had to walk away from there. Day was getting late and the weather was getting cold. He walked until he meet a hut. The occupants of the hut let her enter. Inside the hut, there is a cat and hen. "Can you lay eggs?" Ask hens. "No," replied the ugly duckling. "If so, you're out of here!" Said the hen and the cat. Once again the ugly duckling had to go away. Anywhere he goes, others animals will say, "How bad and ugly you are!" When winter comes, the whole area began to be covered with snow. The ugly duckling did not know where to find shelter. Because of that, he is too hungry and tired, he finally fell asleep in the snow. The next morning, a goodhearted farmer took her home. The farmer gave him food. The ugly duckling thought that he is safe there.
