Quotes
Quack, quack, quack, quack!
Ducks can swim and ducks can fly.
A kind policeman stopped the traffic for them.
They swam on the water and walked on the land.
But Mr. Mallard wasn't listening. He was thinking.
They went on and on and on, until they came to a pond in the Public Garden.
The Ducklings did not know what to do.
His feathers were all ruffled.
They paddled behind their mother through rows of puffy white cloud-boats.
The Ducklings waddled behind their mother in single file.
At last they were all there safe and sound.
They were a funny sight, all covered with dirt.
