Ducksade - Chapter 1 Ducksade

Ducksade

Once upon a time in a dense forest, there was a large water pool with hundreds of white ducks living inside of it, feeding on the fish that swam in the water. But one day came a swamp of tall, powerful geese with their Leader The Goose wearing an onion hat. The geese banished all of the ducks from the water pool and the ducks were too weak to fight the geese. After they had been banished, the ducks scattered around the forests then slowly reformed to settle near a small pond on the other side of the forest.

A year later the small pond that the ducks were living in had fewer fish than the first time they had arrived and less space for them to dry their feathers on lands. Years after years the fish group became smaller, the place for the ducks to rest became tighter and soon there was no food left to eat and no space left to rest.

One day, it happened the leader of the ducks, the White Duck with dark cross-shaped feathers on stood on the top of a large rock and announced his plan to all of the other ducks. ‘We are running out of food and space. We will have to fight the geese and take back our holy land.’ ‘But the geese are too powerful for us! We will not win!’ cracked a baby duckling in a quiet voice. ‘Yes there are strong, but we have the numbers and we have to fight and win! We don’t have any other choice, do we?’ shouted the White Ducks. ‘No!’ cried the baby duckling, wiggling his fists up in the air. ‘Then that settles it. In three days we will all start marching towards the water pool and we will eat anything on the way to prevent the geese from staying in this forest any longer.’ decided the White Duck.

Meanwhile, the geese in the water pool were getting fatter and fatter. Their Leader The Goose wearing an onion hat liked to eat salad so much that he used the word salad as his son’s first name and kept their family name ‘Din’, so his son was now Saladin. Saladin and his geese families were having a wonderful life in the pool.

Three days later, thousands of ducks marched together across the forest.

On their way, they ate all the foods in their path so that after they took back the pool, the geese would find no more food and have to abandon the forest. When the ducks finally made it to the large pool, they found all the geese were lying on the warm sand and eating small fish for lunch. All the ducks stealthily moved towards the end of the beach, jumped out of the bushes, and surprise attacked the geese. The geese, after many years of eating and relaxing on the warm sands, had grown over-weighted and weak, so the battle didn’t last long. The Leader the Goose, Saladin, and other geese splashed the water, running around like chickens without heads in the pool and on the beach. The geese fled the pool, flew up into the dark blue sky, and vanished into grey clouds. The White Duck managed to get the Leader the Goose off guard and the ducks successfully took back their holy pool.

The ducks did win the battle, however, nothing but water left in the pool because the fishes, shrimps and crabs had all swam away into the open sea after thousands of ducks and geese entering, flooding and fighting into the pool. At last, there was nothing left for the ducks. NO PERFECT WINNERS FROM THE WAR!!!
