Duck Conversations

One sunny morning, a group of ducks gathered at a pond within a park to paddle, catch fish and to chat about daily life like they do everyday. The ducks landed in the pond and went about their day catching fish, swimming, and chatting about the water conditions in the pond, the quantity of fish and humans who are running around the pond. But today, something was different. The park bench near the pond was not empty, rather it was occupied by an elderly man with some biscuits. To the ducks, it seemed like the elderly man was having difficulty deciding whether to feed the biscuits to the ducks in the pond or the dogs in the park.

Suddenly, one of the ducks suggested that he will go near the elderly man and quack cutely to persuade him to give the biscuits to the ducks. At the same time, one of the dogs decided to pick a flower from the park and give it to the man. Both the duck and the dog reached the man at the same time and they both did what they planned to do and waited for a response from the man.

But the man decided to give the biscuits to the squirrel on the tree next to him because he noticed that the squirrel had babies that she could feed with the biscuits. The squirrel took the biscuits, laughed at both the duck and the dog and ran up the tree to the two other little squirrel's and shared the biscuits with them.

What the old man didn't realize was that the two little squirrels that he thought were babies were just the friends of the other squirrel. The squirrel had asked them to act as her babies in order to fool the man into giving the biscuits. What the squirrel's didn't realize was that the biscuits were really old and moldy and the old man was trying to get rid of it. The squirrel's had diarrhea after eating the biscuits and now it was the turn of the dog and the duck to laugh.

In the end, the moral of the story is not to eat any food that a random old person hands you.
