Mother Duck

Mother duck thought of a lot of ways, but the three ducklings are still not willing to leave mother duck every day half a step. Mother duck was helpless. One day, mother duck patiently said to them: "The world is big, you should learn to live independently, can not always rely on mother." The ducklings quacked with anxiety. Mother Duck said no more to them angrily. The three ducklings panicked and had to agree to their mother's request. But they don't know where to exercise themselves. Mother duck took out three feathers and said, "You follow them, and they will tell you what to do." The eldest Coco followed the feather to the river. Faced with the surging river, he was perplexed. Can immediately think: mother taught me to swim ah! So he went down into the river and followed the feathers to the desert island. He saw the island is full of wild fruit, and dried fish, excitedly shouted: "Ah! There's so much to eat and drink!" He took up residence on the desert island. Winter arrived, the food on the island are all eaten up, cocoa hungry even have no strength. At this time, mother duck came all the way to the desert island. "Mother, what are you doing here?" Coco asked in surprise. "I guess you've run out of food. You have to work hard to get enough food, my son." "Said mother Duck kindly. So, cocoa went down the river to catch fish, no longer worry about no food. Cock Mi followed the feather to the Wolf's den. The fierce Wolf found the duckling and said grimly, "You are my food now. You can't escape. Ha ha..." Mi was very afraid. Then he remembered that his mother had told him a story about fox pretending to be a tiger. So, Mi pretended to say: "I am the god sent to govern you, you eat me, you will die!" Hearing this, the Wolf was frightened out of his wits. He knelt down and begged for mercy: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me..." Then he rolled and crawled away. Mi settled down safely in the Wolf's den. Unexpectedly, one day, the Wolf's den suddenly collapsed, Mi was blocked inside, he cried in despair. Then a hole suddenly appeared on the top of the head. Mi saw her mother's worn hands. It was her mother who came to save her. "Son, you should make your own home with your own hands." "Said mother Duck kindly. So Mi repaired the nest with her mother's help. The third Lala followed the feather to the river. Lala was in a dilemma: Should I make my home on the river? Here we go! Lala found a few pieces of wood, tied them with straw rope, and made a raft to drift on the river, feeding on fish. Little duck Lala lived happily on the raft. One day, a water snake swam by. Lala fell into the river in fear. The water snake ran after Lala desperately. At this time, the mother duck rushed over and stopped the water snake: "Don't hurt my baby!" She said to Lala again: "Quick, hit it seven inches!" So, taking advantage of the mother duck to draw the snake away, the duckling hit the snake's seven inches. Just then, the snake opened its mouth and bit the mother duck. Then it fell down dead! Mother duck fell to the ground, too. "Mom --" Duckling Lala cried sadly. At the hospital, the three ducklings watched over their mother day and night. At this time, mother duck woke up and said, "Children, I'm sorry to have worried you." "Not at all! Is you teach us to learn to swim, is you tell us the story of growth, is you protect us, is you teach us how to be independent...... It is only natural that we should do this for you." "Said the ducklings. Mother duck listened happily, moved to shed tears......
