He Hates Ducks

250 Words

You ever seen that one bird or squirrel that you wanted to chase? We all were once young and probably have seen a group of small animals that we just wanted to run after. My cousin Steven was one of these kids. We never thought that there could be a consequence for chasing that pigeon.


The story starts while my family members and I were at an asian restaurant in Columbia a few years ago. My cousin Steven happened to be there. The restaurant was near a small dock where there was this fairly large sized pond. The view was amazing; ocean blue water, trees that were as green as can be and we had the ducks… My cousin tried to chase after a duck. From the restaurant to the water, it was a downhill slope. As he was running after the duck, it got close to the water and the duck went in the pond. My cousin had trouble stopping so he lost his balance and control and fell right into the water. A stranger nearby was nice enough to go into the water and get him out. At first we saw it as a shocker but as we told the story to other people, it just got funny how he fell into the pond. His mom had always told him that one day he was going to get hurt. He didn’t really get hurt but being soaking wet for the rest of the day is just as bad I guess.




The moral of this story is to not tease animals. There will be one day where you will be all into it and not be able to notice what can happen to you. I could not think of a story with a better moral that was entertaining. I always like to talk about the day the ducks got my cousin.
