The complaint here is ott. Though why two other ducklings have something positive as names and this one doesn't? Stupid. I'd feel sorry for the dark one.

Have you literally not heard the story 2S
.
The Ugly Duckling is about a swan cygnet that somehow gets mixed in with some baby ducks and thus is thought of as ugly by the other ducks (because it's not small yellow and cute like a real duckling); but then it grows up into a swan and everyone is like "omg look beautiful".
It's a metaphor I guess for kids who were teased by other kids for being unattractive / overweight etc. growing up to look totally different as adults.
