Once upon a time, on the edge of a peaceful lake, lived a playful little duck named Daisy. Daisy was full of energy and loved exploring every corner of the lake. She wasn’t afraid of anything and was always eager to try new things.
One bright morning, as the sun rose and painted the lake’s water with golden light, Daisy stretched her wings and quacked happily.
“Today is going to be a special day!” she said to herself, deciding to swim across the lake to the other side, a place she had never been before.
As Daisy paddled along the water, she spotted a little green frog sitting on a lily pad.
“Hi there, Daisy!” called out the frog, named Freddie. “Where are you off to so early?”
“I’m going to the other side of the lake!” Daisy replied excitedly. “I’ve never been there before, and I’m curious to see what it’s like.”
Freddie thought for a moment and said, “Be careful, Daisy! There are lots of tall reeds over there, and it’s easy to get lost.”
But Daisy just smiled and kept swimming. Along the way, she met a group of cheerful fish swimming around her.
“Hello, Daisy!” said one shiny fish named Sparkle. “Why are you so happy today?”
“Today, I’m going on an adventure to explore the other side of the lake!” Daisy quacked.
The fish swam alongside her for a while, telling her to watch out for hidden paths among the reeds. But Daisy was brave, and she believed nothing could stop her.
When she finally reached the far side of the lake, she found a beautiful green patch filled with tall reeds. But then she heard a tiny, worried sound. Peeking between the reeds, Daisy discovered a small, white duckling sitting all alone.
“Hi there!” said Daisy gently. “Who are you, and why are you sitting here by yourself?”
The little duckling, named Lily, explained that she had wandered away from her family while playing in the reeds and had gotten lost.
“Don’t worry, Lily!” said Daisy with a comforting smile. “I’ll help you find your family. Follow me, and we’ll get you back home!”
Daisy and Lily swam back together, meeting up with Freddie the Frog and Sparkle the Fish along the way. They all worked together to find the right path.
Soon, they spotted Lily’s family paddling around, searching for her. When they saw Lily, they rushed over, hugging her with their wings and quacking with joy.
“Thank you so much, Daisy!” they said gratefully. “You’re the bravest and kindest duck we’ve ever met.”
Daisy just smiled and said, “I’m always happy to help my friends! Now that we’re all together, let’s enjoy this beautiful day on the lake!”
That afternoon, Daisy, Lily, and all the other ducks, frogs, and fish played together on the sparkling water, laughing and splashing in the sunshine. From that day on, everyone knew that Daisy wasn’t just curious—she was also a great friend who could always be counted on.
