A Lazy Duckling

There is a mummy duck who lays five eggs. After few weeks, the eggs hatch and five ducklings come out from the eggs. Mummy likes them very much.

When the ducklings grow big enough, mummy brings them go to a pond and teaches them how to swim. But there is one duckling who is lazy and does not want to learn.

"Why ducklings need to learn swimming? Aren't we natural swimmers?" the lazy duckling then goes back to sleep.

Mummy is very disappointed with her attitude. But she continues to teach other ducklings to swim. So every morning, while mummy is teaching four ducklings swimming in the pond, the lazy duckling only sleeps at home.

One day, it starts to rain heavily. It then rains continuously for five days and there is no sign the rain will stop. The water begins to flood into the farm. Mummy asks all the ducklings to get ready to swim to higher place. The water is cool and wavy. All the ducklings follow mummy closely. After swimming for a few minutes, the lazy duckling begins to feel very tired. She feels like her legs are cramped, and no energy to swim further. She tries to shout for help but the rain is heavy and the wind is strong that mummy does not hear her.

When they swim up to a hill, mummy finally notices that there is one duckling missing. She knows that she will not have chance to see her lazy duckling anymore.
