The Duck Who Got Stuck

One day three inexperienced ducklings were having fun and splashing around playfully in there pond until the smallest of the ducklings got stuck in the marsh. "We'll go and get help," the other ducklings quacked. The little duckling waited and waited for her friends to return, finally they returned with a senior duck who pulled her out of the marsh.

After that traumatising day the duckling was petrified of going into the water again. Each day, her friends came up to the bank and told her of all the fun adventures they had been on.

"You'll never believe what happened today!"
"Yeah!"
"Well, we went to explore this other pond."
"And, and we saw these HUGE creatures who were carrying these, these things!"
"There called guns and they were talking about 'Duck shooting season'."
" And then we saw some of the elderly ducks and then there was a big BANG and... I think they fell asleep. . ."

10 years later...

The little duckling (who was now an adult duck) was sitting on the bank thinking about what she was going to do with her life when she saw a young scared duckling stuck in the marsh. A Hawk was circling above eyeing its vunerable prey. She had to think fast. Before she knew what was happening she was in the water and had saved the little shivering duck.
"Thank you," the small duck said gratefully.
