From Quiz Warning Sign
Answer:
Swan
"The Ugly Duckling" is a fairy tale that was written by Hans Christian Andersen a very long time ago - in 1843! It is about a little duck who was constantly teased because people thought him very ugly. He was so unhappy. But one day, he discovered he had grown up to become a swan, which is one of the most beautiful birds in the world! The 'Ugly Duckling' now had lots of friends and was very happy.
Did you know that the word 'swan' can also be a verb? A verb is a 'doing' word. You can use it in a sentence such as "My friend is swanning about all over the world", which would mean that your friend was traveling all over the world, going from place to place, or gallivanting around.
If you're a good swimmer, you can perform a 'swan dive' into the water. Keep your legs together, your back straight, and put your arms out to the side. As you dive in, you raise your arms up over your head. It should look very graceful!
