A school boy assigned to prepare an easy on the “Duck” wrote as follows: “The duck is a low. heavy set | bird, composed mostly of meat and feathers. He is a mighty poor singer, | having a hoarse voice, caused by getting too many frogs in his neck. He likes the water and carries a toy balloon in his stomach to keep from sinking. The duck only has two legs and they are set so far back on his running gears by nature that they come very near missing his body. Some ducks when they get big have curls on their tails and are called drakes. Drakes don’t have to set or hatch, but just loaf, go swimming and eat. If I was to be a duck, I’d rather be a drake.
