Baby Duck

It was a hot and Saturday evening. Camilla and her mother, Kathleen MacKay Stimpson sat in the car, driving home from her Flute lesson.
They were on there way to the grocery store, when Camilla spotted a little, tiny black thing rolling across the street.
Camilla squinted and stared at it, wondering what it was. Kathleen didn't notice it. Then, Camilla noticed, it was a baby duck! How cute!
But Camilla didn't have time to fawn over it, because Kathleen didn't notice it, which Camilla quickly figured out. To save the ducks life, she yelled, "DUCK!!!!" To which Kathleen had two choices: duck her head, or turn to miss the duck.
Kathleen turned, nearly missing the duck.
Then, it safely crossed, no harm done.
And that, is how Camilla became a superhero.


To the ducks at least.
