Make Way for Ducklings

Make Way for Ducklings
By: Robert McCloskey


(Fantasy)



Two ducks were looking for a place to nest and have their eggs so they went to Boston looking for a good home, but it was too busy and too many things were rushing around.  After searching many places they found the perfect place by the Charles River.  Here they loss their feathers, so they couldn’t fly, but they could swim to get to places.  When the eggs hatched father went to look what was down the river.  Mother was left with the babies and said she would teach them to swim by the time he came back.  The agreed to meet a week from then at another part of the river.  When the week was over the babies could swim so well!  Mother and the babies had to walk a far distance to go and meet their father.  Michael the police officer stopped traffic for them so they could cross the street safely.  Other police officers also stopped traffic so all the ducks were safe throughout the journey.  The finally made it to the public garden where they were going to meet their father.  They decided they were going to stay there and the ducklings liked their new home.
