Ugly

-Mom, look, a grey swan!
-It's a young swan. When it grows up it'll become white like the others.
-Really? Why?
-Because when they are young they don't care about being beautiful.
-Why?
-They spend their time playing with other young swans and they don't have any worries. The grown up swans instead need to worry about finding a mate and have to be beautiful.
The girl looked at the mother, confused.
-What about pigeons?
-Pigeons don't have to worry about these things. They care more about who is the best dancer.
-Even if they're ugly?
-Even if they're ugly.
