Once upon a time, in a small village, lived a boy named Tom.

Tom had brown hair and blue eyes. He loved adventures.

One sunny day, Tom saw a fluffy duck by the pond.

"I want to play with that duck," Tom thought.

He quietly crept towards the duck, trying not to scare it.

Tom reached out, but the duck waddled away quickly.

Tom decided to lure the duck with some bread crumbs.

The duck pecked at the crumbs and came closer.

Tom gently picked up the duck and smiled.

Suddenly, the duck wriggled free and flew away!

Tom felt sad but then laughed at the silly chase.

He learned that ducks are best left in their pond.
