Nobody’s Duck

Mary Sullivan

A duck settles in an alligator’s front yard and says it belongs to nobody. Annoyed by the duck’s continued presence, Alligator loads Duck and its many hats into a wagon to find its owner. At the library, movie theater, go-kart track, and skydiving company, Alligator asks other animals whether Duck belongs to them. Each says no, while Duck turns every stop into an outing for the pair. By the end of their adventurous day, Duck gives Alligator an answer: it belongs with him. Alligator comes to agree.
