I will tell Frank to get the little duck.
Frank! Come here to the pond.
Come quick and get Ducky Bet.
There! Frank has caught the ducky.
Give the ducky to her mother, Frank.
Mother Jet, here is your baby duck.
Go to the barn with your children.
That is where you live. Shoo! Shoo!
Frank came and caught the ducky.
The hen saw him after her baby duck.
She ran about and said, “Cluck, cluck!”
The chicks said, “Peep, peep!”
The ducks said, “Quack, quack!”
Frank said, “Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!”
Lad ran about and said, “Bow-wow!”
What are you looking for, Frank?
I am looking for frog’s eggs, Max.
The frogs lay eggs in the water.
Oh, do find some of the frog’s eggs!
Find some, and let me see them.
Do frogs lay eggs in nests, Frank?
O Max! Frogs don’t make nests.
Don’t you know that? How funny!
I will show you some frog’s eggs.
I can find them in the pond.
Here are some of them now.
Come and look at the eggs, Max.
Eggs? Well! They are funny eggs!
They are not at all like bird’s eggs.
