Once upon a time, there lived a duck named Ducky Noose.
He was the fluffiest duck in the valley, with feathers as white as a summer cloud and a bright,
cheerful orange beak. Today, Ducky Noose woke up with a very rumbly tummy.
He waddled down to the sparkling blue pond. "Waddle, waddle, quack!" he said.
Ducky Noose looked under the lily pads and behind the tall reeds, searching for the
perfect mid-morning snack. The water was cool against his orange feet.
Suddenly, he saw a shimmer! With a big splash, Ducky Noose tipped his tail
into the air and dove down deep. He found some delicious pond greens and a few tasty treats
hidden in the silt. It was the best breakfast a fluffy duck could ask for.
With a full belly and happy heart, Ducky Noose waddled all the way back to his cozy nest.
The sun was setting, turning his white feathers a soft golden hue. He tucked his orange
beak under his wing and drifted off to sleep.
