The Rustling Sound
One afternoon, as I sat in the front garden, peacefully reading a book, I heard a rustling sound. I
went to the plants and bushes to see what I could find. Then I heard a quack, in the leaves. I
looked inside and found a little duckling. I asked what the little duck was doing, and he told me
that he had lost his mother.

He told me how he got lost. It started when he was swimming with his mum. Then, his mum
went behind the grass and he could not find his mother. The duckling and I went to the pond he
was swimming in. I saw some duck footprints outside the pond. I followed the train and came to
my cousins farmhouse.

I asked my uncle, “Have you seen a mother duck?” He told me that there was a sad mother
duck near the cows. The duckling went to see if his mother was there. He fell into a pile of
leaves and when he came out of the pile, he saw his mother right in front of him. He went with
his mother to the pond and lived a very happy life.
