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.

The End

Your story is very good, especially considering your A-Z format. I've made a few little changes in bold face.

The Ugly Duckling:

One fine morning, a duck gave birth to three ducklings. Beauty shone from the two identical ones, and charm appealed from them. However, the mother duck felt dejected after seeing the odd-looking gray-feathered duckling. Still, she decided to keep it, setting aside its appearance. She hoped he would be as gentle as her other two pretty ducklings and the recently adopted one, but destiny had something else in store.

The mother duck witnessed the ugly duckling hitting and screaming at his siblings, prompting her to make the difficult decision of kicking him out of the house. In anger, he yelled at his mom, saying, "I hate you," and slammed the door before she could say anything. Through the window, his lovable sister Jenna cried out, "Don't leave, bro." On the other hand, the selfish adopted duckling named Kendra exclaimed, "Go away! You are too ugly to live here." Laughing, Kendra closed the window in her sister Jenna's face. The mother duck, feeling depressed and ashamed, never expected her upbringing to result in such bad behavior.

Suddenly, she gasped as she noticed parts of her room starting to catch fire. Urgently, she called out to Jenna and Kendra, requesting their help in putting out the fire. However, Kendra dismissively yelled back, "Quiet! Can't you see I'm busy?" Meanwhile, Kendra rested on the couch, wearing an evil expression on her face. As the situation escalated, the mother duck fell down, unable to breathe. Tears started to roll down Jenna and Peppy's faces as they desperately needed help.

Amidst the chaos, beneath a chair, they spotted something that could potentially aid them. It turned out to be a genie lamp! Excitedly, Peppy exclaimed, "Wow, it's a genie lamp!" Both Peppy and Jenna rubbed the lamp with their tiny, cute hands. Suddenly, a genie popped out of the lamp and proclaimed, "Yes, I will grant any three wishes of yours." As she appeared, xylophones began to play, and everything around them vanished. Mother duck found herself waking up from the awful nightmare.

The story concludes with the relief that the troubles and challenges the ugly duckling and the mother duck faced were ultimately a product of a dream, as they awoke to reality.

The End.
