What did you see on the way to the shops?

I am on a weeks holiday. Decided to go to the shops with my daughter today. We were walking along our road and I heard someone shout “Pauline were’s the mum gone?” I thought to myself I know that voice, It was the caretaker of the nursery. When I looked over the fence I saw 3 grown men rumaging in the bushes! What are you doing I asked?. I heard my daughter shout “Mum look, there lovely” There was a mother duck walking along the path followed by 6 of the cuteist ducklings you ever did see. The men shouted “there gonna go in the road!”. Sure enough mother duck and her ducklings casualy walked across the road. I swear mummy looked both ways. They walked passed me and into the nursery grounds.

My daughter laughed and said “Mum I think your going back to work” We all followed in hot pursuit! me, my daughter and the 3 men. At the very bottom of my road and across the next road is a park that has a large pond. The 5 of us decided that mum and her babies should be captured and taken back to the pond; before one of them got hurt. I volunteered to get hold of the mother as the men (Lol) were worried that she might bite or scratch them!!. I sent my daughter around one bush and I went round the other. I was just sticking my head in the bush just about to pick the mum up, when I heard a manager from the nursery shout “Pauline, I’ve rung the RSPCA and they say to leave them alone, they will be ok. Mum is looking for water”! Me and daughter looked at each other and at the time we pointed and both said “but the pond is that way!” The manager said again “There’ll be ok leave them” So reluctantly we left them alone.

Mother duck must have been tired after all this excitement and she settled herself down under the bush with her babies behind her and had a little nap!! Bless her I really hope that they will all be ok.
