Once upon a time, there was a silly duck who loved to play with his friends, the elephant and dog. One day, they decided to have a picnic in the park and bring along some delicious apples.

As they were enjoying their snack, an alligator sneaked up on them. The dog barked loudly, alerting the duck and elephant, who quickly gathered all the apples and threw them at the alligator. The alligator was so surprised that he ran away!

Feeling proud of themselves, the trio decided to go for a ride on a bus. But the bus driver wouldn't let the dog on board, so the duck and elephant got creative. They tied a ball to a rope and threw it out the window, with the dog chasing after it. The dog had so much fun playing with the ball, he didn't even realize he was being pulled along behind the bus!

The trio had a blast on their adventure and learned that with a little creativity, anything is possible. The end.
