The duck and all the little ducks waddled across the road and into the meadow.
Bunny saw them coming and hopped over to meet them.
"Good-morning, Mrs. Duck," he said. "Where are you going?"
"We are going to the brook to have a swim," said the duck. "Will you come with us??
"No, no!" answered Bunny. "I can not swim. You did not teach me."
"Perhaps I could teach you this morning," said the duck. "There is not much water in the brook to-day."
"I don't want to learn to swim," answered Bunny, and he hopped off to find Bobtail.
But he could not find Bobtail, and he could not find Billy.
So at last Bunny sat down under the oak tree to take a nap.
Mrs. Duck and all the little ducks waddled along the path until they came to the brook.
