The ugly duckling. Poor little black one was trailing behind all the others. Bet he doesn't realise that he's a a swan, the Royal bird, and hence, it is illegal to ever kill him. My dad was telling me some story from his navy days in England about how him and his friends tried to hunt one down to eat. They each had 5 pounds sterling which they would have contributed to the fine if anyone caught them. Don't know whether they ever caught one though. My mom stopped his story at that point.
