Papa Wood Duck's Gift
Papa Wood Duck sat on the front porch of his house. He looked at the Mallard house across the road. The Wood Duck and Mallard children used to swim together at the pond. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen the Mallard children at the pond in quite a while. What was going on at the Mallard house? Perhaps Mama Wood Duck knew.
"Mama," said Papa when he went inside. "What is going on at the Mallard house? The Mallard children never come to the pond anymore."
Mama Wood Duck nodded. "They are all busy helping take care of Marvin."
"Who is Marvin?" asked Papa.
