A delightful Storybook : Tom Thumb & The ugly Duckling
2 beautiful stories for boys and girls
Firstly Tom Thumb
The story of Tom Thumb is well-known: a poor, childless farmer and his wife feed a raggedy beggar (who is really Merlin), and he rewards them with a son the size of the husband's thumb.
The farmer and his wife name their son Tom Thumb, and try to protect him from the perils of the world.
It teaches kids a very valuable lesson about being yourself, even when others try to change you.
Bravery is an Admirable Trait – One of the traits common to all Tom Thumb tales is his brave nature.
And The Ugly Duckling
The Ugly Duckling looked very different from his siblings who made great fun of him and treated him horribly because he didn't look like them.
He searched for a place where he was accepted for who he was.
That place was not with the ducks, nor hens, nor geese, nor the old woman and her cat and hen.
He wished the he was beautiful like the swans he saw flying in the sky and had friends who didn't tease him.
By spring, he was fully grown and tried to join a flock of swans.
The young swans didn't tease him as all the other creatures had, but they treated him like one of them.
He was surprised that such beautiful creatures would want to be with him. But then he saw his reflection and saw that he too was a beautiful swan.
He had finally found his home with the swans and was at peace from all the mocking and ridicule he had endured in the past.
A good story for teaching about discrimination and bullying
