The Duckling and the Tangled Vine

Once upon a time, in a quiet pond, there lived a little duckling named Daisy. Daisy loved to explore the world around her and make new friends. One sunny day, while swimming near the edge of the pond, Daisy spotted a shiny red vine hanging from a tree. Curiosity got the best of her, and she decided to take a closer look.

As Daisy swam closer, she couldn't resist reaching out to touch the vine. But, as soon as she did, her little leg got tangled up! Oh no! Daisy flapped her wings and quacked for help, but there was no one around to hear her.

Luckily, just when Daisy was starting to feel scared, a wise old turtle named Tommy happened to pass by. Tommy saw Daisy's predicament and knew he had to help.

With a slow and steady pace, Tommy swam towards Daisy. Using his strong turtle shell, he untangled her leg from the vine. Daisy was so relieved to be free!

Daisy thanked Tommy with a happy quack and promised to be more careful in her adventures. From that day on, she always looked out for vines and other things that could cause trouble.
