premise:  Esme thought ducks were the cutest of all animals. She wished that she lived near a park with a duck pond. "She made a special trip to go to one, and took bread to feed them." The group of ducks became very large and aggressive and swarmed her. Esme no longer thinks ducks are very cute at all.
hypothesis:  Esme became terrified of the aggressive ducks starts before Esme took bread to feed them
