Once upon a time, in a sunny meadow near a bubbly brook, an egg began to wiggle, giggle, and jostle!
Crack! Snap! Pop! Out popped Ducky McQuack, with fluffy feathers fuzzier than a cotton candy cloud.
Ducky blinked his big, bright eyes and stretched his little wings wide, feeling the warm tickle of the sunshine.
He waddled wibbly-wobbly, whispering, “Quack! Quack! Here I am!” to every blade of grass and daisy in sight.
“Oh, what a wonderful world!” quacked Ducky with delight, as he paddled in puddles that mirrored the sky's blue hue.
Nearby, the breeze laughed and played, rustling the leaves like a friendly melody just for Ducky.
Ducky met Ms. Squirrel, who chattered cheerfully while sharing an acorn snack.
Then he found Nutmeg the Rabbit, who could hop-hop-hop over any rock or log like a bouncing ball!
“Welcome to the meadow, Ducky!” chirped Tweety the Bird, high up in the treetops, playing peek-a-boo with the clouds.
As the sun began to set, painting the sky in pinks and purples, Ducky cuddled close to Mama Duck.
With a yawn and a snuggle, Ducky McQuack whispered, “What a quacktacular first day!” and drifted into dreams.
Goodnight, little ducky — tomorrow's new adventures are ready to unfurl!
