DANIEL’S DUCK

 I read “DANIEL’S DUCK”

 Jeff and his brother Daniel lived in a cabin on a mountain in Tennessee. Jeff was good at making things by carving wood. There was Henry Pettigrew. the best wood carver in Tennessee. Jeff wanted to be like him. Then, Jeff, his family, and Henry began to make things for the spring fair. Jeff made a box of wood and Daniel made a duck of wood. At the spring fair, everyone laughed at Daniel’ duck. He picked it up and ran away. However, Henry said that the duck was good and he wanted it. Daniel gave it.

 I love this story. I was moved to read Henry’ kindness. The duck is only one. Therefore, it is precious, even though it is ugly.
