why do ducks live near water ?#17

  Once upon  a time ducks lived in the forest but with their padad feat it was difficult to run away from predators and with its flat beak it was hard to catch food.

It was very hard living in the forest and the food was horrible.

The only thing it could eat were berries and other kinds of fruit that he could find either on the ground or on low bushes and shrubs .

One day a duck named Quakey , who was fed up with the hard living , met up with a bunch of ducks called : Sammy , Deby , Sunny and Tommy ; they decided thet they wanted to change so they went and tried living in the desert .

But it tourned out to be different to what they had imagined , first of all there wasn't any food or water and it was too hot and second of all there was no shade for them to rest during the day .

So they went and live in the " big city " but even there it wasn't as they wished .

It was loud and messy and it was difficult , almost impossible to sleep at night .

But the most dangerous part was the street , the cars were going to fast and paying no attention to them !!!!!!!

Sammy ,one day , fed up with all of the loud noises told his friends that he had heard of a river near a quiet and peaceful wee town where people went and looked at the fish and occasionally had pick-nicks and played with a ball or just lay on the lovely soft grass .

On he`aring of that wonderful place they all got excited and they couldn't wait to arrive .

When they did , they settled in so quickly that it felt like day one .

They soon became familiar with the people who went near the river and started to feed them bread crumbs and wee worms ; they liked living near water and with their physical attributes it was easier to swim away from predators .

And that is why ducks live near water !
