This will be cen sored soon.

"The ugly duckling knew he could not lay any eggs because he was a male, and only females can lay eggs."

I like the humility of the story, the idea of not fighting against his own nature. Love that the "duckling" did not insist on his duckling identity. It takes time to realize that you are who you are born as, and you're beautiful as you are.
