Sitting Ducks
by Michael Bedard
Where
do ducks come from?
The
Colossal Duck Factory of course! Day after day, brand-new ducks roll of
the assembly line operated by alligators. They are loaded onto trucks
and taken to Ducktown, where they are fattened up in preparation for
their final destination -- onto the plates and into the stomachs of the
alligators. Everything proceeds smoothly, until the day one of
alligators decides to take a wayward duck home. The alligator plans to
turn the duck into a delicious meal. But over time, he grows fond of his
future dinner, and before long, the two become pals. Can a duck and an
alligator really be friends in an alligator-eat-duck world?
