Well, it didn't exacty happen this way. But as I was walking through the park one day. I did rescue a duck that had a balloon wrapped around it's wing. So I gently cut the strings off with my nail clippers and gave the balloon to a little girl. I guess there were two lucky ducks that day.! Thanks for reading....Charlie

I came upon a little girl She had a teardrop in her eye I asked her why she was so sad So she pointed to the sky Floating beneath the clouds And heading towards the moon Drifting through the atmosphere Was her shiny red balloon A duckling that was flying past Got tangled in the string And it landed near the little girl With it wrapped around it's wing Gently I untied the knot And set the duckling free Then I gave the girl her red balloon And she gave a hug to me
