Just then a duck came waddling

round. She was glad that Peter had not

closed the gate and decided to take a nice swim in the deep pond in the meadow.

Seeing the duck, the little bird flew down upon

the grass, settled next to her and shrugged

his shoulders. "What kind of bird are you if

you can't fly?" said he. To this the duck replied

"What kind of bird are you if you can't swim?"

and dived into the pond.

They argued and argued, the duck swimming

in the pond and the little bird hopping along

the shore.

Suddenly, something caught Peter's attention.

It was a cat crawling through the grass.

The cat thought;

"The bird is busy arguing, I’ll just grab him.

Stealthily, she crept towards him on her velvet paws.

"Look out!" shouted Peter and the bird

immediately flew up into the tree, while the

duck quacked angrily at the cat, from the

middle of the pond.

The cat walked around the tree and thought,

"Is it worth climbing up so high? By the time

I get there the bird will have flown away.”
