It was dark in the night. The moonlit river was calmy flowing. The horse was on the riverside, thinking about his adventurous past. The horse often comes to the riverside to find solitude.
The horse saw a duck frantically searching for something in the river.
“Hey, what are you doing here in the river, in the middle of the night?” asked the horse.
“I am searching for my friend. He was here. I heard him quacking,” said the duck.
“You are mistaken dear. The sound was from the duck hunters, mimicking your friend’s sound. Go and hide fast, or you will be shot dead,” warned the horse.
“Thank you, dear friend,” said the duck, and she swam across the river to hide in the bush.
Warning from good friends is life saving!
