Once upon a time, there was a black, and white duck
name Luck. Who loved flying south, after a cold
winter was over. He would dream about this rather small lake,
that was near this farm house in the country, because he thought
it was so cool there when he flew their last spring.

Now that the winter was over, it was nice and warm, “he said
to himself ,there is no better day to fly than to day. So he begin
his long journey south, but this time two of his friends came
with him because they wanted to see this small lake he talked
about so much. They begin to ask how small was it, and he
replied”, smaller than an ocean, and larger than a pond, it is
plenty of room for us all to have fun. Then one friend asked”,
how deep is the lake? Then he replied, “Jake, not as deep as the
sea, but shallower than a river. But we will eat our filled at this
lake, no bigger than a river.

So when all the questions were over these three friends continued to fly.
They had came really far, “and they were tired, they saw green grass
with a few trees. One of them said”, which was “Sue, this look like a
cool place to land. And the little black, and white duck, “Luck, who led
the little flock, begin to come down toward the earth. And so did the
spotted duck “Jake, and the little gray duck “Sue. So they all landed in
the pool, “and after they were cool, they walked around and found
some food, “they were really hungry to. So after their bellies were full
all three drank from the pool. Now it was time to take a nap, because
it was dark by now. But when the sun came up in the early morning,
they would take off in flight to finish the journey.

Now it will take another day to reach the lake. But after
everything they been through in their long, long flight. They begin
to think this is real nice, “because they would becoming to the
end of their flight. Finally they made it to the lake, “and Luck
said, see what did I tell you guys isn’t it great. Then “Jake, and
Sue” laughed ,and all three begin to play. Jumping in and out of
the water, splashing all over themselves. Calling out to all ducks
above, come and join us, “and be with us. And all the ducks that
heard them said, “why not let us go see, is this where we want
to be. So all the ducks came down and landed. They jumped in
the lake and decided to stay.

All summer they played duck games, flying up and down, “and all
around. They played in the lake, “and trees. They even fluttered
in the dirt to get rid of the flees. They had so much fun at the
lake this summer, now that it was almost over. The ducks begin
to think they, “didn’t really want to take another long flight. But,
they knew it would be no way they would be able to survive the
winter. Each day begin to be cooler, “and cooler. One day “Sue
said to the guys, we are going to have to leave before the winter
take us over. Then they said, we will leave tomorrow in the early
morning. Then we will have plenty of light to start our flight. So,
they decided to rest that night to begin their early flight.

12 NO WHITE GUTTER
But no one got any sleep that night, “because all three was thinking
about how much they would miss the little lake, no bigger than a
river. They also thought about the great big tree that sit by the
lake, “and the two small bushes that swayed with the wind. About
the time they were through thinking about how much fun they had,
day light was breaking. And neither one of them hadn’t slept none.
Now all three ducks had become sleepy eyed, they yarned, “and
stretched their wings, and legs saying to one another lets begin to
fly then. So all three lifted off in flight, as they looked back, as if
to say bye, bye to their special place.

Well they took off toward the sky, and the sun was shining
bright, there was a nice cool breeze not a cloud in sight. All
three continued on their journey until night. Jake said”, if only
we could find a place to land for the night, because they didn’t
see a tree nor any place they would like to land. So the little
gray duck “Sue replied”, may be there will be a place a few
more miles. As they flew, and flew all three became very tired,
as the darkness grew as dark as it could be. If it wasn’t for the
brightness of the moon they would be unable to see.

As they made their journey across the wide open sky, there were
no other ducks flying their way. I hope we are not lost, Luck
thought. But Luck had made this journey so many time before
he was just tired, and his mind wasn’t thinking right. Finally”
Luck spotted a tree or two then he asked’’, do you see what I
see? Jake and Sue replied”, we sure do. They were so happy to
see the tree tops from above. Now they can take a rest, that
all three deserved. Then they landed on a branch side by side
they all fell asleep quickly, because they were so tired. It was as
if they hadn’t slept for a long, long time.

 When they woke up that morning the ducks felt so refreshed, and
was ready to start their journey. So they took off again leaving the
little lake far, far behind neither one said a word as they flew all
day. The sun was beaming, and they wanted to stop. They were so
thirsty, and their throats was really dry, so they could not make a
duck sound every time they tried, they could not hear a sound.

16 NO WHITE GUTTER
They had made two days journey with three more to go, if they
didn’t find water soon they all would die. As they continued to fly,
another day was almost gone. All three little ducks were so glad
when the sun was going down,” Luck recognized where he was. He
knew there was a river up ahead about a mile.

Now it was dust dark as they continue to fly, all the little ducks
spotted the river at the same time. As each one of the ducks
tried to tell the other “look’’, there is the river, not a sound would
come out. They all looked at each other and nodded their heads
to let the other know it was time to land. As they headed for the
river from far, far above, their only thought was a cool, cool drink
like in the little lake. When they came to the river they drink
their full, now they could make sounds like ducks made. It was
like a pretty song, as they swim all around. Food was in the river
that was good to see, then they begin to eat.

After they were full and found a place to snuggle up to rest, a large
flock of ducks showed up to take a rest. When they saw the three little
ducks they begin to laugh ,because they traveled in a great big flock,
and they were only three. The three ducks heard what they said, and
felt kind of bad. But Luck” who was the leader of the little flock said,”
don’t worry about them they are just bag heads. So Sue, Luck, and
Jake snuggled up and went to sleep. After they rested a while, around
midnight they awakened to start on their journey, because they wanted
to cross the river while it was cool that night. For the large flock was
thinking the same thing. So when the little ducks took off, so did they.
And they all flew together across the river blue, and all of them flew,
and flew and flew.

Then at day break one of the other ducks said, for little guys
you are alright. I wouldn’t mind flying with you. So the little ducks
laugh, and one of them said, we think you are alright to, and you
have been flying with us across the river blue. The duck in the
big flock turned his head. Then they all kept flying, and flying
toward their destiny. Soon it was time to take a rest before they
finish the last of their journey. Then they landed, and ate for a
while. So all the ducks snuggled up, and slept for a long time.

20 NO WHITE GUTTER
After their nap were over they all took off again, this time they
didn’t stop, not even for a break. Now the weather begin to turn
warm as they continue to fly. The three little ducks was think-
ing, it is about noon, we will arrive at our destination very soon.
Finally as the sun was going down with a pretty reddish color, all
the ducks knew they had made it home, because they saw all the
other ducks by the ocean waiting. And they would be there soon.
As the ducks begin to land they all knew their friends were glad.
Home at last,” home at last,” this is what they all said, because
they all were happy to be home again
