The Emperor of China learns that one of the most beautiful things in his empire is the song of the nightingale. When he orders the nightingale brought to him, a kitchen maid leads the court to a nearby forest, where the nightingale agrees to appear at court, where it remains as the Emperor's favorite. When the Emperor is given a bejeweled mechanical bird he loses interest in the real nightingale, who returns to the forest. The mechanical bird eventually breaks down; and the Emperor is taken deathly ill a few years later. The real nightingale learns of the Emperor's condition and returns to the palace; whereupon Death is so moved by the nightingale's song that he allows the Emperor to live.

L'empereur de Chine, qui ne quitte jamais les limites de son palais, ignore qu'il existe un peu plus loin, au-delà de ses jardins maniérés, des lacs profonds et des bois touffus que les gens du peuple connaissent bien.

L'anatroccolo Carlino è molto diverso dai suoi fratelli. Loro sono graziosi, con belle piumette soffici, lui è buffo, con il collo lungo e non piace a nessuno...

"The Ugly Duckling" was first published in 1843, and the tale has been adapted to various media including opera, musical, and animated film. This story has stood the test of time and become an inspiration to those who are bullied or picked upon.

The Ugly Duckling, narrated by Glenn Hascall and written by Hans Christian Anderson, is indeed an inspiration to those of us who believe we were born ugly or less talented than our peers. Barnyard abuse, verbal abuse, or bullying: it's all pretty much the same. This classic piece by Hans Christian Anderson has delighted children for over 150 years.

Actress Glenn Close narrates this story, accompanied by original music by Mark Isham. The Emperor and his court in ancient China discover a little grey bird with an enchanting song. But when the Emperor is presented with a jewel-encrusted, artificial singing bird, he banishes the nightingale from his court. Years later, he realizes that the song of the real nightingale is the true treasure.
