Mrs. Duck counted her little ducklings again.
They were still nine. She couldn't believe her eyes. All ten ducklings were
there a few minutes ago, as she counted them before they swam across the river. She
made sure she was right behind her ducklings as they swam across and she only looked away
once as she heard a big splash behind her. She looked back to see what it was and
when she saw that it was a couple of boys splashing rocks in the water, she continued to
swim keeping a keen eye on her little ones.
But now, one was missing. It was the youngest
of her ducklings and she was so worried. What could have happened to him. She
looked up and down the river but she could see him nowhere.
At that very moment the little duckling realized that
he was lost. He couldn't understand how this had happened since he had only gotten
distracted for what seemed like a moment. He had run into some playful fish and
followed them for just a moment. Now he could not see his mother or the other
ducklings.
It seems that the current had carried him far downstream and now as the little duckling
climbed up on the river bank, he needed to find a way back to his family. So he...
... went
to Mr. Bird, who was very wise. He asked Mr. Bird "Can you help me find my mother. I
was with her and then I got distracted and went off somewhere else. I'm scarred!".
Mr. Bird replied "Oh, don't be scarred! I will help you. All you have to do is come
with me. Come on my shoulders and we will fly to find your mother." The little
duckling nodded as he climbed on top of the bird. They went flying into the air when they
found the duckling's mother and brothers and sisters. They landed in the water. "Oh
thank you very Mr. Bird. I greatly appreciate this! Anytime you need any help, I will be
glad to help you!" They all lived happily ever after.
