Danny the duck was the smartest creature you would ever find.
"Oh Danny, for a shilling would you please tell me how to catch one-handed?", asked Georgina the cow. "I've been trying but I can't seem to get it. And just this
morning it occurred to me that you would be able to help me. Don't you worry if you don't have time, for you probably have
more important things to do and I can just keep me-self to me-self."
"Don't you worry! Your problems will be sorted in no time." he replied. They went off to get a ball.
Surprise! Surprise! After an hour, Georgina could nearly catch the ball no-handed (if that were possible). With a satisfactory grin, Georgina handed over the shilling.
"Don't you give that to me!" Danny quacked. "Go get a cooked breakfast and celebrate with your friends about what you can do!" Georgina thanked him and trotted off.
Now, Danny wasn't just the smartest creature, he was the kindest creature too. These two things go very well together indeed and because he was these two things, he spread his cleverness around so it got passed on to all sorts of living creatures. That is the reason why we human beings are so smart. It is thanks to Danny the duck! Even though chickens heard some things from Danny (once upon a time), they aren't that clever because, you see, chickens don't like telling stories and so they failed to pass on the information. They are always too busy ruffling their feathers and making themselves look gorgeous for no particular reason.
So what Danny did, almost everyday was help the pleading souls of his time. But he also had a family to take care of. These ducks were called: Nattily Flipper-Duck; his wonderful wife (well so he thought) and his two attractive daughters; one by the name of Caron, age 13, and the other called Nina who was 9 at the time this story took place. The two daughters took after their father in having a great mind and being loving and caring. They were also seamstresses; not unlike their marvellous mother.
It happened one day, that Danny was having a stroll in the park. A cold breeze floated around in the air just as salt would if you happened to be at the beach. Twin bunnies (Layla and Lula), walked by with their pink hats bobbing up and down and their cotton tails following wherever they should go. Their Papa (Robert) was close behind, with his blue-buttoned jacket and black top hat.
"Good day to you, Robert." greeted Danny.
"What a fine day it is." answered Robert, in his lovely deep voice."Oh, Mr. Danny, I've been learning about symonyms." said Layla, sweetly.
"Aah, well done!" congratulated Danny. "And it is synonyms, Layla" he added by way of correction.
"Oh of course. Silly me. And thank you!" said Layla.
"I don't know how you tell the difference between Layla and Lula!" said Robert, bewildered.
"Oh well, you see, Layla has more pink inside her ears." said Danny, solemnly.
"Oh, thank you so much." exclaimed Robert. "How flabbergasted Mrs. Rabbit will be!"
One after another, they each said, "Have a good day!" and then they departed.
What a lovely life Danny had, helping people with his amazing intellect!
