Tonight we are revisiting a beloved classic from the archives — The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen. This timeless fairy-tale follows a duckling who faces discrimination from his family and fellow barnyard animals simply because he looks different. A story rooted in themes of bullying, discrimination, and the power of staying true to yourself, it is just as poignant and beautiful today as it was when we first shared it with you. We hope this rebroadcast finds you again — or for the very first time — and gently carries you off to sleep. Sweet dreamzzz... 🦢 ⚠️ WARNING: This is a vintage fairy tale and may contain imagery and language that could be considered offensive by today's standards. This story is not recommended for young children or anyone of a sensitive nature. We strongly encourage parents to listen first before sharing it with young listeners. Thank you for your understanding! Music in this episode: 'Weightless Moments' by Mathilda Skonare Karlsson via Epidemic Sound
