Sara loves to feed the ducks at the pond. She brings bread and corn and throws them in the water. The ducks swim and quack and eat the food. Sara likes to watch them and count them. She knows all their names.
One day, Sara sees a big duck with a red hat and a shiny medal. He looks different from the other ducks. He walks in front of them and makes loud noises. The other ducks follow him and make noises too. Sara thinks they are having a march.
Sara asks her mom who the big duck is. Her mom says he is a famous duck. He is the leader of the ducks. He helps them find food and water and keeps them safe. He is brave and smart and kind. He won the medal for saving a baby duck from a fox.
Sara thinks the famous duck is very cool. She wants to feed him some bread and corn. She calls his name and waves her hand. The famous duck sees her and swims to the shore. He takes the food from her and thanks her. He says she is a nice girl and a good friend. He gives her a feather as a gift.
Sara is very happy. She puts the feather in her hair and smiles. She says goodbye to the famous duck and the other ducks. She tells her mom she had a lot of fun. She says she wants to come back and feed the ducks again. Her mom says they can do that tomorrow. Sara hugs her mom and says she loves her.
