A little boy is out walking with his mother in the park. He stops walking and tugs on her sleeve to get her attention.
“Mama, what’s that?” he asks.
“What’s what, honey?”
He points ahead of him. “That.”
She looks and sees a baby duck a little ways ahead of them, looking lost. “That’s a baby duck, and it seems lost. I think it’s looking for its parents.”
“But that doesn’t look like a duck to me.”
