Down by the bulrushes, tucked in a nest,
Lay Brenda the duck,

who was having a rest.

She’d spent a long time making everything neat
For a special young duck she was longing to meet…

Слайд 4

She’d cared for her egg since the day it was laid

She looked at her friends who had nested nearby
And she gazed at their eggs with a sorrowful sigh.

And she loved it, despite its uninteresting shade.

Слайд 5

She listened as other ducks gloated with glee,
As they dreamed of

how special their ducklings would be.

For all of the others had eggs that were bright,
With colourful patterns; not boring and white.

Слайд 6

“My egg is so blue,” Brenda heard Betty boast,
“My baby will

turn out much wiser than most.
With feathers azure like the sparkling sea,
What a dazzling creature my duckling will be!”

Слайд 7

Then Gretchen went by with a satisfied grin,
“My glistening egg holds

a starlet within.
Brimming with confidence, charming and bold,
Its feathers will twinkle with shimmering gold.”

Слайд 8

“My egg is so frilly, it’s pink and it’s white,”
Said

Penny one day, as she gleamed with delight.
“My duckling is sure to be talk of the lake;
Creative and talented, make no mistake.”

Слайд 9

Brenda felt sad that her egg was so plain,
As the other

ducks stared at her nest with disdain.

She worried her duckling could never compete
When its friends were so gifted, the world at their feet.

Слайд 10

She said, “Well it might not be shiny or blue
But I

know that my duckling is loved through and through.
I’ll teach it to share and to always be kind,
For a kind duck’s the best duck you ever will find.”

At sunrise, while Brenda lay snuggling her egg,
It started to crack…

and then out popped a leg!

Слайд 11

And then, sure enough, came a series of cracks
As the ducklings

were born in a flurry of quacks.

A duckling emerged with the softest of down,
Which was coloured a beautiful yellowy brown.

Слайд 12

The pink one…
the blue one…
the shimmering gold…
But the ducklings were not

as their mummies had told!

No feathers of rainbow, no silvery trims,
Just four fluffy ducklings...

Слайд 13

None of them glittering, none of them chic,
But each of them

special and each one unique.

…two hers and two hims!
The mummy ducks gasped as the ducklings all hatched.
Their beaks looked the same and their feathers were matched.

Слайд 14

The ducks were now sorry and felt very bad
That their boasting

and gloating had made Brenda sad.
All thoughts of the eggshells were now cast aside
As their hearts started bursting with love and with pride.

The eggs they had nurtured were lovely, for sure,
But the ducklings inside mattered very much more.
They waddled and played as the mummies looked down
At their cute little ducklings of yellowy brown.
