Mum has been busy gardening for hours and hours and it was very boring till Tilly came along making her Come-and-see-what-I've-got noise very loudly and proudly and she had got a duck! Only a very baby one, and she brought it back all unharmed to teach us to hunt, but Mum made her drop it and it ran very fast and I chased it and Tilly chased me and Mum chased all of us and the duckling ran under David's gate so we all ran round to see if it came out under the other gate but it didn't so Mum banged on his door while we all tried to get into the garden to look for it and David and Linda looked everywhere but couldn't see it till it came round a corner right behind them and David caught it. It was all very exciting, and we thought he should let us have it, but he said he would go and see if he could find its mother and take it home. But we are miles from the river, so no one knows where it came from, unless Tilly carried it all the way back across the fields. I hope she finds some more - they are nearly as good as chickens!
