Onceupon a time, there was a black, and white duckname Luck. Who loved flying south, after a coldwinter was over. He would dream about this rather small lake,

that was near this farm house in the country, because he thought

it was so cool there when he flew their last spring.


9/24

Now that the winter was over, it was nice and warm, he saidto himself ,there is no better day to fly than to day. So he begin

his long journey south, but this time two of his friends came

with him because they wanted to see this small lake he talked

about so much. They begin to ask how small was it, and he

replied, smaller than an ocean, and larger than a pond, it is

plenty of room for us all to have fun. Then one friend asked,

how deep is the lake? Then he replied, Jake, not as deep as the

sea, but shallower than a river. But we will eat our filled at this

lake, no bigger than a river.


10/24

So when all the questions were over these three friends continued to fly.

They had came really far, and they were tired, they saw green grass

with a few trees. One of them said, which was Sue, this look like a

cool place to land. And the little black, and white duck, Luck, who led

the little flock, begin to come down toward the earth. And so did the

spotted duck Jake, and the little gray duck Sue. So they all landed in

the pool, and after they were cool, they walked around and found

some food, they were really hungry to. So after their bellies were full

all three drank from the pool. Now it was time to take a nap, because

it was dark by now. But when the sun came up in the early morning,

they would take off in flight to finish the journey.


11/24

Now it will take another day to reach the lake. But aftereverything they been through in their long, long flight. They begin

to think this is real nice, because they would becoming to the

end of their flight. Finally they made it to the lake, and Luck

said, see what did I tell you guys isnt it great. Then Jake, and

Sue laughed ,and all three begin to play. Jumping in and out of

the water, splashing all over themselves. Calling out to all ducks

above, come and join us, and be with us. And all the ducks that

heard them said, why not let us go see, is this where we want

to be. So all the ducks came down and landed. They jumped in

the lake and decided to stay.


12/24

All summer they played duck games, flying up and down, and allaround. They played in the lake, and trees. They even fluttered

in the dirt to get rid of the flees. They had so much fun at the

lake this summer, now that it was almost over. The ducks begin

to think they, didnt really want to take another long flight. But,

they knew it would be no way they would be able to survive the

winter. Each day begin to be cooler, and cooler. One day Suesaid to the guys, we are going to have to leave before the winter

take us over. Then they said, we will leave tomorrow in the early

morning. Then we will have plenty of light to start our flight. So,

they decided to rest that night to begin their early flight.


13/24

But no one got any sleep that night, because all three was thinkingabout how much they would miss the little lake, no bigger than a

river. They also thought about the great big tree that sit by the

lake, and the two small bushes that swayed with the wind. About

the time they were through thinking about how much fun they had,

day light was breaking. And neither one of them hadnt slept none.Now all three ducks had become sleepy eyed, they yarned, and

stretched their wings, and legs saying to one another lets begin to

fly then. So all three lifted off in flight, as they looked back, as if

to say bye, bye to their special place.


14/24

Well they took off toward the sky, and the sun was shiningbright, there was a nice cool breeze not a cloud in sight. All

three continued on their journey until night. Jake said, if only

we could find a place to land for the night, because they didnt

see a tree nor any place they would like to land. So the little

gray duck Sue replied, may be there will be a place a fewmore miles. As they flew, and flew all three became very tired,

as the darkness grew as dark as it could be. If it wasnt for the

brightness of the moon they would be unable to see.


15/24

As they made their journey across the wide open sky, there wereno other ducks flying their way. I hope we are not lost, Luck

thought. But Luck had made this journey so many time before

he was just tired, and his mind wasnt thinking right. Finally

Luck spotted a tree or two then he asked, do you see what I

see? Jake and Sue replied, we sure do. They were so happy tosee the tree tops from above. Now they can take a rest, that

all three deserved. Then they landed on a branch side by side

they all fell asleep quickly, because they were so tired. It was as

if they hadnt slept for a long, long time.


16/24

When they woke up that morning the ducks felt so refreshed, andwas ready to start their journey. So they took off again leaving the

little lake far, far behind neither one said a word as they flew all

day. The sun was beaming, and they wanted to stop. They were so

thirsty, and their throats was really dry, so they could not make a

duck sound every time they tried, they could not hear a sound.


17/24

They had made two days journey with three more to go, if theydidnt find water soon they all would die. As they continued to fly,

another day was almost gone. All three little ducks were so glad

when the sun was going down, Luck recognized where he was. He

knew there was a river up ahead about a mile.


18/24

Now it was dust dark as they continue to fly, all the little ducksspotted the river at the same time. As each one of the ducks

tried to tell the other look, there is the river, not a sound would

come out. They all looked at each other and nodded their heads

to let the other know it was time to land. As they headed for the

river from far, far above, their only thought was a cool, cool drinklike in the little lake. When they came to the river they drink

their full, now they could make sounds like ducks made. It was

like a pretty song, as they swim all around. Food was in the river

that was good to see, then they begin to eat.


19/24

After they were full and found a place to snuggle up to rest, a largeflock of ducks showed up to take a rest. When they saw the three little

ducks they begin to laugh ,because they traveled in a great big flock,

and they were only three. The three ducks heard what they said, and

felt kind of bad. But Luck who was the leader of the little flock said,

dont worry about them they are just bag heads. So Sue, Luck, and

Jake snuggled up and went to sleep. After they rested a while, aroundmidnight they awakened to start on their journey, because they wanted

to cross the river while it was cool that night. For the large flock was

thinking the same thing. So when the little ducks took off, so did they.

And they all flew together across the river blue, and all of them flew,

and flew and flew.


20/24

Then at day break one of the other ducks said, for little guysyou are alright. I wouldnt mind flying with you. So the little ducks

laugh, and one of them said, we think you are alright to, and you

have been flying with us across the river blue. The duck in the

big flock turned his head. Then they all kept flying, and flying

toward their destiny. Soon it was time to take a rest before theyfinish the last of their journey. Then they landed, and ate for a

while. So all the ducks snuggled up, and slept for a long time.


21/24

After their nap were over they all took off again, this time theydidnt stop, not even for a break. Now the weather begin to turn

warm as they continue to fly. The three little ducks was think-

ing, it is about noon, we will arrive at our destination very soon.

Finally as the sun was going down with a pretty reddish color, all

the ducks knew they had made it home, because they saw all theother ducks by the ocean waiting. And they would be there soon.

As the ducks begin to land they all knew their friends were glad.

Home at last, home at last, this is what they all said, because

they all were happy to be home again
