The water looked cool to the little ducks.
But the water looked very wet to Bunny.
Mrs. Duck stood on the bank for one minute to talk to her ducklings.
"Follow me," she said, "and do what I do. Swimming is the easiest thing in the world.
"When I count three we will all go into the water together."
"I think I will wait and see how you do it," said Bunny. "That will be the best way for me to learn."
So Bunny sat down on the bank, and the little ducks stood in a row behind their mother.
"Now," said Mrs. Duck, "one, two, three,—go!"
At the word "go" they all waddled into the water.
Paddle, paddle, paddle! Mrs. Duck made her feet go so fast that she was soon in the middle of the brook.
