/  MR. AND MRS. MALLARD WERE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE.
/BUT EVERY TIME MR. MALLARD SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A NICE
/PLACE, MRS. MALLARD SAID IT WAS NO GOOD. THERE WERE SURE
/TO BE FOXES IN THE WOODS OR TURTLES IN THE WATER, AND SHE
/WAS NOT GOING TO RAISE A FAMILY WHERE THERE MIGHT BE
/FOXES OR TURTLES. SO THEY FLEW ON AND ON.
/  WHEN THEY GOT TO BOSTON, THEY FELT TOO TIRED TO FLY ANY
/FURTHER. THERE WAS A NICE POND IN THE PUBLIC GARDEN,
/WITH A LITTLE ISLAND ON IT. "THE VERY PLACE TO SPEND
/THE NIGHT," QUACKED MRS. MALLARD. SO DOWN THEY FLAPPED.
/  NEXT MORNING THEY FISHED FOR THEIR BREAKFAST IN THE
/MUD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POND. BUT THEY DIDN"T FIND MUCH.
/  JUST AS THEY WERE GETTING READY TO START ON THEIR WAY,
/A STRANGE ENORMOUS BIRD CAME BY. IT WAS PUSHING A BOAT
/FULL OF PEOPLE, AND THERE WAS A MAN SITTING ON ITS BACK.
/"GOOD MORNING," QUACKED MRS. MALLARD, BEING POLITE. THE
/BIG BIRD WAS TOO PROUD TO ANSWER. BUT THE PEOPLE ON THE
/BOAT THREW PEANUTS ON THE WATER, SO THE MALLARDS
/FOLLOWED THEM ALL ROUND THE POND AND GOT ANOTHER
/BREAKFAST, BETTER THAN THE FIRST.
