A Duck Story By Keagan, Grade 3, New Hampshire
This is an animal story about six ducks. They were all in one
family.
One winter day the ponds were all frozen and the mother duck
and her babies wanted to have a lesson about learning to swim
and about learning to save themselves from a big, bad bear that
could swim.
They got a big hammer to make holes in the ice. The big, black
bear was watching them and thinking about how roast duck
would smell and taste. He swam up behind them.
The ducks swam and swam as fast as they could, but that bear
was too fast for them!
Finally the bear was so tired from swimming that he drowned in
the water. The ducks went all the way home waddling happily.
