day she was sick and was taken to the
country and put in barnyard, where
there were many other ducks and
many things that Miss Ducky Duck
had never seen or heard about.
To be sure there was a pond near
the barnyard but it was not so deep

park. and Miss Ducky never tired of
telling the country ducks about what
she had left behind.
She could not get used to the other

Mr.. Fox had never met a city duck
before and he was surprised enough
that she did not swim away when she
saw him, but when she spoke about
Mr.. Dog he knew she. did not know
who he was.
"The Mr.. Dog at the barnyard is
