The duck and the fox

1. Once a duck went for a little walk. It was lovely weather. She was feeling carefree and happy
2. Coming to the edge of the woods, suddenly she saw the fox sitting against a tree. “Ha, good timing”, said the fox. “I’m starving and a delicious duck will be tasty”.
3. “Dearest fox”, said the duck, do you want to eat me? Pity I don’t feel to good today. I have most likely eaten something wrong. I believe I must throw up”.
4. ”Yuck”, cried the fox, a sick duck, I don’t like. Go early to bed and get well soon”.
5. Relieved, the duck went home, on her way she picked a bunch of flowers to celebrate her escape.
6. But when she was cosy at home drinking a cup of tea, she thought: “What must I say to the fox the next time I meet him?
7. The next day the duck had to think of a new list. She got a shovel out of the shed…
8. … started to dig a hole. Deeper and deeper she dug, when the hole was big enough she put some thin twigs on top.
9. The she sprinkled some leaves and to finish a layer of earth. So, now, no one could see what a beautiful trap she had made.
10. Early in the morning the fox woke up and stretched. Oh boy I’m hungry, he thought. Today I will eat the duck, today she will not get away. Hurredly he got under way.
11. “Duck”, called the fox, “now I must eat you up. I’m shaking with the hunger”.
12. Yes fox, dear friend. I know, I’m standing waiting for you. I hope it will be tasty for you. Impatiently, the fox ran to the duck.
13. … suddenly the ground went from under his feet. Help, get me out of here immediately, he roared from anger.
14. But the happy duck walked home. During the night she heard the cry of the wolf.
15. The next day the duck went back to take a look in the hole. Dear duck”, begged the crying wolf, “get me out of here. I promise you that I will never eat ducks again.” “If you promise that, I will help you,” said the duck.
16. And she took from home a sturdy rope and pulled the fox up. The fox was so happy. To quench the hunger of the fox, the clever duck brought the fox some food to eat.
17. “Duck “, said the satisfied fox, when he had his belly full, “I love you, do you want to marry me?” “No” , she said, “I won’t marry you. Foxes love ducks too much. But we can be friends.
