Ducky the Duck waddled excitedly to the edge of the school playground.

Looking at the climbing frames, Ducky felt a flutter in his stomach.

He watched the children swing and slide with ease and laughter.

Taking a deep breath, Ducky approached the swings first.

With a little hop, Ducky felt the wind under his wings on the swing.

Next, the slide looked like a shiny river from up high.

The climb was slow, but Ducky reached the top triumphantly.

Woosh! The world blurred as Ducky slid down, landing with a happy quack.

Now, the jungle gym loomed. Could he navigate this maze?

He carefully stepped, hopped, and flapped through the obstacle course.

At the end of the day, Ducky had conquered each play area.

He realized that with each leap and bound, he had grown braver.
