Swans Don't Fit In This Pond

Watercolor texture 2

Little Duck says with a shocked face," I'm sorry I never thought about it that way. I guess now I must return, but I would like to say sorry for the feelings I hurt." Little Duck leaves without a trace, leaving just one feather and a smile on dawns face.

After two nights of adventuring through, the forest, lakes, and a river too. She found a pond full of Swans," My parents must be here!" And that's all she knew.

One day, her mom said," Little Duck is my favorite because you're adopted!", then followed by her dad," Swans don't belong in this pond!" Her family were just bullies, teasing her and such. So finally one day, she had had enough.

Let me tell you a story about a Swan named Dawn. She lived in a pond with her dad and her mom.

Following the Pond Patrol she found her way, to a room in the castle, " This is where you will stay." Dawn said, " This can't be right! I'm not a princess, okay?" They reply," Yes you are! Just you wait, the King and Queen are coming, it'll be great!"

The King and Queen were confused," Who let you in and who are you? Are you the one who took our daughter and treated her like a Goblin?" Little Duck responds," Yes we are! What are you gonna do? Give me a scar?" Dawn then says," You know what Little Duck! I'm tired of you treating me like I have no luck!"

But just you wait, the story goes on. Dawn wanted to be gone after her life went wrong. She had a little sister they called Little Duck, and Little Duck made her friendships have no luck!

The King and Queen arrive," Are you okay? You've been missing years after you were misplaced" said the Queen, followed by the King," I'm so gla-" interrupted by Little Duck and her parents.

Now inspired and confident too, Dawn went off to find a clue, of where her parents were no one knew.

" I think it's time for your lesson to be learned!" Little Duck responds with," I don't care! It's not like anything will be earned." Dawn takes a deep breath and then responds," You should treat others the way you want to be treated or else they'll treat you the same!" 

The frog then said," Child, I'm here. Don't you worry, let me wipe away your tears." Dawn was now filled with joy, and happiness too, "Thank you Mr. Frog, I appreciate you!"

She decided to run off, but not too far. Just to her favorite lilypad to watch the stars. At the lilypad, she met a frog. His name was Rob, and he was chilling on a log. The frog said," Child, why do you cry?" Dawn said," Well, I don't want to lie, while most might do. But no one will help me, will you?"

She entered the pond, wondering about, where her family is she must know now. However, she got stopped along the way, by the Pond Patrol, who had come to say, " It's her! It's her! I always knew. One day we would look and finally find you."
