The puppy and the ducky

Once there was this little puppy who was very sad because he didn't have any toy or friend to play with . A puppy angel felt sorry for him and decided to help him..so it threw down a red ball on the roof of his kennel. Bong! The puppy got a shock and went out to investigate. He was overjoyed with the ball and started playing happily with it. Inside his kennel then outside then in the park. He had so much fun!

While playing in the park he accidentally threw it into the pond! Oh no! He stared mournfully at it   and thought "oh I cant swim! I just got it today and now I've lost it"  and he sat by the bank of the pond and cried loud tears. While he was crying he heard a sound. "Quack quack quack quack quack "
He thought "who's making that awful noise when I just want to cry? I'm going to look up and tell them to stop right this minute"

He looked up to bark when he saw to his surprise a duck pushing his red ball towards him quacking away!

"Oh thank you ducky"! And they play and play all day.

Evening falls. Puppy says "i"ve got to go now but will be back tomorrow! " Ducky says : I'll be waiting for you"

That night dark clouds gather  . By morning the sky is overcast and a storm descends. What thunder what lightning !

Puppy shivers in his canal too terrified to budge. Every time he hears the roar of thunder he jumps and shakes his whole kennel. He does not venture out.

At the pond the ducky waits. Thunder storms are no big deal for her. Water off her back. She wait and waits then frowns then pouts. He said he'd come but he didnt.

The next day dawns bright and clear again. Puppy races out with his red ball. 

"Ducky! Ducky! Where are you? Woof woof I'm here to play".

Ducky hears him but she hides behind some reeds. She's not going to answer him! He didn't cone yesterday at all!

" Ducky? Ducky!oh dear. I'm going to try my luck anyway" and puppy throws the ball into the pond . Ducky sees the ball but does not go near it. She thinks it serves him right to lose his ball!

Puppy sees the ball floating far away in the pond and hangs his head. He's so sad he's lost his friend and his ball. Suddenly he hears a sound
"Croak croak croak" He looks up and see three frogs playing with his ball! They are throwing it to one another saying croak croak!

"Hi there froggies! May I have my ball back?"
The three frogs croak back to him grumpily saying "no" and keep throwing the ball to one another . Suddenly ducky turns up and catches the ball in mid throw. The three frogs croak in surprise. Ducky pushes the ball back to puppy.

"Ducky! You are here! Why didn't you answer when I called out to you? "
Ducky stuck her beak in the air and said " hmph! I waited for you all day yesterday and you never turned up!"
" Oh sorry Ducky! The storm terrified me! I didn't dare leave my kennel"
" Oh are you scared of thunderstorms ? " asked the ducky gently. I thought you didn't care about me anymore!"

" of course i care about you! You are my friend !" Said the puppy.

"Well let's play then!" said the Ducky.

They started playing throwing the red ball to each other. Then they heard a sound .

" Croak croak croak"

They turned to see the three frogs.

" we are sorry we didn't return your ball just now. "
"Can we play too? "
"Pleeeeeeesae? "

Puppy looked at ducky. What do you think should we let them play too?
Oh ok!
So all five played happily together.

The angel said " I only gave him a you nut he found himself some friends who care for him!
