Ms. Sue I tried to make this A-Z story modern. Please take a look at it and can you please also edit it by recopying it in paragraph form and inserting in anything I've missed, such as punctuation, grammar, etc. Thanks for all your help:-)
The Ugly Duckling:
A duck gave birth to three ducklings one fine morning. Beauty shone from the two identical ones. Charm appealed from them. Dejection had the mom come across after seeing the odd looking one. Ever did she wonder if that ugly gray-feathered duckling was hers. Forgetting about his appearance, she decided to keep it. Gentle she thought he'd be, like her two pretty ducklings and one recently adopted one, but destiny had something else in store. Having seen him hitting and screaming at his siblings, the mother duck decided to kick him out of the house. "I hate you", he yelled at his mom, and slammed the door before she could say anything. Jenna his lovable sister cried out the window, "Don't leave bro." Kendra, the selfish adopted duckling yelled out, "Go away!", "You are too ugly to live here." Laughing, Kendra closed the window in her sister Jenna's face. Mother duck on the other hand was feeling very depressed and ashamed. Never did she believe her upringing could be so bad. "Oh my!", she gasped, seeing parts of her room starting to light on fire. Peppy!, Jenna!, Kendra!, help me put out the fire!, Hurry!. "Quiet!", Kendra yelled back, "Can't you see I'm busy." Resting on the couch, kendra had an evil expression on her face. Suddenly, the mother duck fell down, she couldn't breath. Tears started to roll down Jenna and Peppy's face, they extremely need help. Under a chair, they spotted something that could be of their help. Violent Kendra in that situation had escaped from the house, perhaps she could be the one causing all troubles. "Wow, it's a genie lamp!, shouted Peppy to Jenna. Xylophones starting to play as Peppy and Jenna both rubbed the lamp with their tiny cute hands. "Yes", I will grant any three wishes of yours said a genie as she popped out of the lamp. Zithers start playing suddenly; everything vanishes, mother duck finds herself awake from the awful nightmare.
