Dog And The Duck Beautiful

One sunny afternoon, a wandering dog named Scout stopped by a mossy pond. Floating right in the middle was a duck with feathers that shimmered like emeralds.

"Wow, you’re a beautiful duck!" Scout barked. "But why are you hanging out in this muddy old pond? Come with me, and I’ll show you a giant swimming pool. The water is crystal clear and bright blue!"

The duck paddled over and gave a friendly whistle. "That’s very kind of you, Scout," she replied. "This pond might look a little messy to you, but to me, it’s home. It’s full of tasty snacks like dragonflies and pond weeds that I love to eat."

She dipped her beak into the water and smiled. "If I left for a swimming pool, I’d miss out on my favorite treats—and I’d miss the home I love."
