Once upon a time, there was a group of ducks who lived in a pond. One day, they heard a loud "quack-quack" coming from the forest. They were curious, so they decided to investigate. When they got to the forest, they found a black duck who was hacking away at a tree with a stick. The other ducks asked, "What are you doing?" The black duck replied, "I'm trying to attack this tree!" The other ducks didn't understand why he wanted to attack the tree, so they asked again. The black duck said, "I want to make a snacking rack for my acorns." The other ducks thought this was a great idea and decided to help. They all took turns whacking at the tree until it fell down. Then, they used the wood to build a snacking rack for the black duck's acorns. It was such a fun day and everyone was happy. The end.
