Learning To Swim – The Duck Who Was Afraid Of Water | Bookosmia

Once upon a time, there lived a duck named Ducky Quaky. He lived near a pond in a forest with his parents and brother.

He was brave and was filled with courage but he was only scared of water.

One day, he was about to get drowned in the water as his elder brother had challenged, him to swim. He was too young at that time to swim. The mother duck was perturbed by his behavior, as he could not swim though he was six years old already.

Soon, the mother duck gave birth to a baby duck named Scabby.

One day, his parents and elder brother left Scabby and Ducky Quaky at home. The mother told Ducky Quaky to take care of the little one.

While running in the garden, Scabby fell into the pond and cried “Help! Help.”

Ducky Quaky didn’t know how to swim and he got cold feet. But without giving a second thought, he jumped into the pond to save his sister’s life.

Finally, he noticed that he could swim and overcame his fear. When his parents heard that he could swim, they were glad and from that day he was never afraid of water.
