Good morning. quacked Mr.. Drake
lay egss, it seems to me, and | saw
the farmer this morning looking into
your nest"
LET him look said Miss Duck. Il
can't be bothered laying eggs. He
should be glad to have such a hand
some creature as | am waddling about
the barnyard for folks to look at. Real
ly. Mr.. Drake, until | came here you
had a very scraggly looking lot of
ducks.
Let old Miss Duck lay the eggs.
She is toe old-fashioned to do anything
else. Won't you go swimming with
me, Mr.. Drake? 1t is such a lovely
day out on the pond"
Old Miss Duck saw them as they
passed her nest. "He is just as bad as
the rest" she said. THAT new duck
has turned all their heads, but you
wait and see what happens" she SAID
to Speckled hen, who was scratching
for worms nearby. "She won't last
long around here
"Never saw such handsome eggs as
that old duck lays said the farmer as
he took the eggs from Miss Ducks
nest. "She is worth more than all the
other ducks put together, and that new
one is worthless; hasn't laid an egg
since l got her. l guess she will be
worth more on the table than in the
b%arnyard.'
"Where is the new duck?' inquired
Mr.. Drake one morning. II havent
seen her this morning.
"If you take a look in the kitchen
you might find her. said old Miss
Duck, land if the rest of you want to
keep your heads on" she said to the
other ducks, you'd better take warm
ing and get busy laying eggs"
Miss Duck wriggled off her nest.
Look at those handsome brown
eggs she said. 81 told you hand.
some is that handsome does is a true
saying. The farmer did not say | was
handsome, but he did look at my big
eggs and said l was worth more than
all of the others put together
As Miss Duck waddled off n of the
others said: "She is a queer old thing
but she is wise, and | guess we'd bet
ter go to work for she may be right
We shall find our way into the kitchen
Just as the new duck did"
Queer how one silly duck can up
set things" said old Miss Duck to
Speckled Hen the next morning.
.sThere isn't a duck to be seen on the
pond all busy attending to their work.
| guess the farmer won't bring any
more new ducks around to help us out
again."
