Every Christmas Eve, Selso, Moose, and Angela had a unique tradition: trying to catch a duck at the city park to spend Christmas with it. It all started one year when they jokingly decided to catch a duck for their holiday dinner, but instead, they ended up with a new feathered friend.
As Christmas Eve approached this year, the trio gathered their supplies: a large net, a loaf of bread, and a whole lot of determination. They set off to the city park, giggling and plotting their strategy.
"Alright, team," Selso said, adjusting his Santa hat. "Moose, you distract the ducks with the bread. Angela, you help me with the net. Let's get ourselves a Christmas duck!"
Moose nodded, scattering breadcrumbs around the pond. Ducks waddled over, quacking excitedly.
"Come and get it, duckies!" Moose called, waving the bread like a magician's wand.
Angela and Selso crouched behind a bush, ready with the net. They watched as one particularly plump duck strutted toward the crumbs, looking like the perfect Christmas guest.
"Okay, now!" Selso whispered, and they leaped out, net at the ready.
But the duck was no ordinary duck. It was a cunning and agile bird, dodging the net with remarkable speed. Selso and Angela stumbled over each other, while Moose laughed so hard he dropped the bread.
The duck quacked triumphantly and waddled away, leaving the friends in a heap.
"We almost had it!" Angela said, trying to catch her breath. "That duck is a ninja."
"Maybe we should just invite it politely," Moose suggested. "Ducks might respond better to manners."
Selso rolled his eyes but grinned. "Worth a shot. Let’s give it a try."
They approached the duck again, this time with Moose leading the way, a slice of bread in hand.
"Mr. Duck," Moose said, bowing slightly, "we cordially invite you to spend Christmas with us. We have breadcrumbs, a warm home, and plenty of holiday cheer."
To their surprise, the duck tilted its head, quacked softly, and waddled over to Moose. It seemed their polite invitation had worked!
The trio returned home with their new feathered friend, who happily pecked at crumbs and even joined in the Christmas carols. It wasn't just about catching a duck anymore; it was about the fun and laughter they shared every year.
From that day on, the Christmas duck became a beloved part of their holiday tradition, reminding them that sometimes, the best way to catch a friend is with kindness and a bit of holiday magic.
