My class and I have to write a a-z story. It can be about anything. A-Z means that each sentence has to start with each diff letter from the alphabet. So the first sentence would start with A; second sentence would start with B, etc.

I want to do a story on the "The Ugly Duckling, because I have read that story many, many times and I really like it. I can't seem to think of the first sentence. Can you please give a few suggestions for the starting sentence. It has to start with the letter A. Thank you very much for all of your help:-)

An ugly duckling . . .

or

A pitiful bird . . .

or

A duckling . . .

I can't seem to think of a good sentence to start the story.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, but I am unable to think of the rest. I thought of,: A duck family......, but I want the starting to be really good, and am just unable to make it stand out.

How about...A Mother Duck had given birth to six little ducklings one fine morning.

I don't know if that's good, is there any way I culd shorten it out?

I'll appreciate all the help you could give me, thanks

Your sentence is an an excellent start for this story.

It could be shortened to:

A duck gave birth to six ducklings.

Thank you Ms. Sue:-) I will post the whole story on this after I'm done completing it, thanks a lot:-)

You're welcome.

Certainly! I'm glad you chose to write a story on "The Ugly Duckling" for your class project. Here are a few suggestions for your starting sentence that begins with the letter A:

1. Amidst a picturesque countryside, lived a mother duck who eagerly anticipated the arrival of her adorable ducklings.
2. As the golden sun rose above the horizon, a lonely egg lay hidden in a bed of reeds by the tranquil pond.
3. At the edge of a shimmering lake, a little duckling hatched, clueless of the extraordinary journey that awaited it.

Feel free to choose the sentence that resonates with you the most or use it as inspiration to create your own unique starting sentence. Good luck with your story!
