The+Dodgy+Duckling

Once upon a nest there was a mother duck and 6 ducklings. Mother Duck found a 7th egg, a big brown egg. It was a dodgy duckling. The dodgy duckling was the last to get born. Mother Duck took them to swimming lessons. The dodgy duckling sank like a soggy kumara. Then Mother Duck took them to the reeds to catch dragonflies but the dodgy duckling caught only a cold. When Mother Duck wasn’t looking the ducklings teased him and chased him. The dodgy duckling started to cry, he found a cave and cried himself to sleep all winter long. The dodgy duckling woke up on a warm spring night. He met a kiwi and he found he was a kiwi and he was very proud to be a kiwi. || The Dodgy Duckling by Molly W
