Ducks on a Farm

One day last summer, we visited a farm.
We stayed all night.
Toward evening, we saw some ducks in the barnyard.
They walked as if they were in a parade.
They looked as if they were playing “Stump the leader.”
When they walked, they waddled in such a funny way.
I laughed when I saw them.
They said “Quack, quack!”
Other ducks were swimming in a pond.
The ducks seemed to like to swim.
They said “Quack, quack,” over and over again.
I wish I could swim in the lake as well as ducks swim in the pond.
