The moral of the story is in the fact that it is not necessary to be afraid to be different. Duck differed in appearance from the other ducklings. That is, was not such as all. And so he began to tease and poison the ducks. Why was he unceremoniously scolded and taught the cat and the chicken? Because he didn't behave as it should. That is, again, was not such as all! The duck had a choice: or to accept what cannot be different from the others neither in appearance nor behavior, or habits, or to behave in accordance with the principle: "Yes, I'm different, but it is their right!" And he made this choice, fearing that will incur the misunderstanding, abuse and even persecution.
