She needs a woolly jumper to keep warm and she isn't very good at flying. Then one day she finds a new home, and suddenly Borka's no longer the ugly duckling Zusammenfassung Once upon a time there were two geese called Mr and Mrs Plumpster. Each Spring they returned to the marshes of their ancestors, and Mrs Plumpster laid her eggs. Soon six fine young Plumpsters hatched: Archie, Freda, Jennifer, Oswald, Timothy and Borka. When winter came the other geese flew off in search of warmer climates, leaving Borka all alone.
