This head was bigger than the others, and grey like ashes. First, a little crack appeared, and then the whole egg cracked open as a head forced its way out. It was somewhat larger than the other six, and the duckling didn’t seem to want to come out.Īfter a while, she heard tapping sounds again. She waited nervously for the seventh egg to hatch. They were very impatient and excited to see what was beyond the reeds, but mama duck would stop them with her beak when the curious little ones got too close to the edge. Six eggs hatched and the ducklings waddled back and forth, yellow like six shiny suns. Mama Duck cheered them on with loud, excited quacking. One by one, the eggs started cracking and tiny beaks started to push themselves out into the world. Soon, a tapping sound started coming from inside the eggs. She sat on her eggs and waited impatiently for them to hatch. She would often dream of what it would be like swimming with a bunch of little ducklings trailing behind her. The duck couldn’t wait to have her own family. Not only did many duck families live on the lake, but also swans, frogs, and fish. She lived on an islet in the middle of a lake surrounded by tall poplars.
