A DELIGHTFUL OLD-FASHIONED TALE - WITH SOME MODERN TWISTS!A brave little duck saves her flock from the ravages of a fierce wolf, with the help of a philosophical old owl who quotes Dickens. But the wolf isn't necessarily bad, and the owl isn't altogether good. Here's an excerpt, without the full-color pictures, of course, which can't be put into this description:The little duck climbed out of the pond. The moon had just risen above the trees, and it was casting shadows like long grasping claws across the meadow. She fluffed her feathers, and wiggled her tail to give herself courage. Then she waddled slowly through the meadow to the big pine tree standing on the edge of the forest. She could see the owl’s huge orange eyes glowing high up in the tree.“Mr. Owl, sir. Every morning, when we waddle out into the meadow to eat the big crunchy grasshoppers and the fat juicy slugs, the wolf jumps out of the tall grass and carries one of us away into the forest, and we never see that duck again. Can you tell me how we can stop the wolf from eating ducks?”The owl peered down at the little duck. With his huge orange eyes, he could see her quite easily in the dim light.“Look at yourself, little duck. Your bottom is too big, your legs are too short, and you keep tripping over your feet. Now, think about the wolf. He has long legs with strong claws. He runs very fast, and he has wide jaws with big teeth. Don’t you know that wolves are supposed to eat ducks, just like ducks are supposed to eat grasshoppers and slugs?”The little duck bobbed her head up and down. “I know, but isn’t there anything we can do?”
