One day the owner of the company decided to send soap posters around the world. The poster had three portions. Dirty cloth, wash it with soap and clean the cloth.

One of the employee from Arab suggested to start it from his Arabian countries. But they did not know that the Arabs read right to left.

They sent the posters to Arab and got pasted all over their country in few days. A lot of people came to see the posters, but since they read from right to left, they thought, they have to start with clean cloth, wash it with the soap and they end with dirty cloth. Hence, nobody bought the soap after this poster. All the soap sent back to the original country. They wondered why nobody bought it and they never found out answer why? Because the owner doesn't act wisely.

Then he tried the farmyard.“Will you play with me?” he asked.“No, no,” said the horses. “You are too ugly.”“No,” said the pigs, and they laughed at him. The sad, ugly duckling went back to the farm pond.

“No one will play with me,” he said to Mother Duck. “I am too ugly.”“You do not look like the other ducklings,”said Mother Duck, “but I am your mother,and I love you.”But the ugly duckling was not happy. So he flew away.

Time passed, and the ugly duckling grew up.His wings were wider.His neck was longer.His feathers had turned white.He had changed, but he did not know it. Then one day, two big white birds flew over the pond.“What beautiful birds!” thought the ugly duckling. “I hope they stop to visit.I am lonely.” The birds flew lower and lower and landed int he pond with a splash.

Hello,” said the ugly duckling. “Who are you?”“We are swans,” said the big white birds,“just like you.” I am not a swan,” said the ugly duckling.“I am an ugly duckling.” The swans were laughed. “Look down at the water,” they said. “What do you see?”.

The ugly duckling looked down at the water.“You are right!” he cried. “I am a beautiful swan!”.

The ugly duckling was very happy to be a beautiful swan. He flew off at once to visit the farm.“Hello,” he said. “Do you remember me?”“No!” said the ducks.“No, no!” said the frogs and turtles.“We’ve never seen you before,”sniffed the horses and pigs.

“I am the ugly duckling!” cried the swan. All the animals said, “You are too beautiful to be the ugly duckling.”“I grew up to be a beautiful swan,”he said. All the animals were happy to be with such a beautiful bird.

Then the swan saw Mother Duck.“Hello! I am your ugly duckling,” he said. Mother Duck did not care if he was a duckling or a swan. She said, “You do not look like my other ducklings, but I am your mother, and I love you.”
