Once upon a time, there was a little duckling who was always sad. All day long with a long face, you know! - Are you sad again? asked his mother, Mrs. Duckapidi. - Again. - Why? - Because I don't like my little feet. - What's wrong with your wretched little feet that you don't like them? - They're yellow! - So what? All ducklings have yellow feet! It's the traditional color. - I don't like yellow. It's too yellowish. - What color do you like then? - All the others, except for yellow! I like pink, beige, burgundy, green, gray, rose! All colors are a wonder, they are magic, except for yellow, which gives me allergies! All the ducklings in the pond are happy with their feet except for one who absolutely, completely doesn't like their yellow color. It's pointless for his mother, Mrs. Duckapidi, to try to convince him that all ducklings have and must have yellow feet. The grumpy duck makes a big decision: To leave the pond and not return unless he finds a way to change the color of his little feet. So he tosses a yellow stone behind him and sets off on a hilarious adventure in the big city. When he tries to find a job, he realizes that he is not cut out to be an elevator boy, nor a typist, nor a ballet dancer. A thousand and one disappointments and just as many adventures await him until he finally manages to achieve his goal.
