*** Also, while cygnets and ducklings do look virtually the same, except for the colour scheme, there is also presumably a difference in size: given how much larger swans are than ducks, it isn't too far-fetched to think that carries on already to cygnets and ducklings, which would make the cygnet look very much out of place. This Troper remembers seeing several illustrated versions of the tale drawing the cygnet almost twice as big as the ducklings.
*** Administrivia/DoWeHaveThisOne The problem is that the cygnet kept judging himself by what he wasn't until he discovered what he actually was. Seen as a duckling, he was ugly; seen as a cygnet, he is beautiful. The point is, don't try to ram a square peg in a round hole - go look for a square hole.
