Short story alert:
Once upon a time there was a baby duck named Quacker. Quacker
loved searching for new things to see. One day when quacker was roaming around
the land he seen what he thought was a lot of baby ducks. Quacker stopped and watched
in amazement at all the cute little baby ducks like him. He started quacking
really loudly at them, but they didn’t move or quack back. Quacker just kept
sitting there staring at them and trying to get them to quack back at him. He
sat there for almost 30 minutes and watched them swaying in the wind ever so
delicately. They did not make a noise they just swayed back and forth. Quacker
didn’t understand why they didn’t want to play with him. He tried quacking at
them again and his mom came over to see what he kept quacking about. His mom
told him that they were not baby ducks like him. She told him that they are a
beautiful flower that look like cute flying ducks, but they are not real ducks.
Quacker was impressed with what he had learned. Quacker said thanks mom and
went on his way exploring for more amazing things to see. THE END!
