If Duck Again

Once upon a time, in a still pond surrounded by lush greenery, there lived a rough and tough duck named Daphne. She was a curious bird with a fierce spirit, always eager to explore the world around her.

One day, while she was hanging around the shore, she stumbled upon a discarded sketchbook lying in the grass. This sparked something deep within her, a hunger for the creative world that she’d never felt before. Daphne had never considered herself an artist, but she was drawn to the book like a moth to a flame.

So, she took it upon herself to learn the ways of the sketchbook. She’d paddle out into the pond, taking in all its beauty, then return to shore to put her thoughts down on paper. It wasn’t easy, especially when the other ducks started ribbing her for spending so much time on her own with a book. But she didn’t give a damn, she was driven by her hunger for creation.

As she continued to study and learn, her sketches started to take on a life of their own. They were a reflection of her experiences, of the rough and tumble world she lived in, and they were anything but ordinary. Her unique style was rough around the edges, just like her, and it spoke to the emotions she felt as she paddled around the pond.

Daphne’s art quickly became known, sought after by ducks and humans alike. But the road to success wasn’t easy, and the balance between her love of art and her responsibilities to her duck community was a difficult one to strike. Despite the challenges, Daphne remained unyielding, driven by her passion for creation.

So, she continued to paddle out into the pond, capturing its beauty in all its raw and unrefined glory, and sharing it with the world. The sketchbook became a part of her, just like her feathers and beak, and she’d never let it go. This was her story, her journey, and she was gonna live it to the fullest.
