A school boy at Morocco, assigned to prepare an essay on “Ducks,” 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 baloon in his stomach to keep from sinking. The duck has only two legs, and they are set so far back on his running-gears by nature that they come pretty near missing his body. Some ducks when they get big have curls on their tails, and are tailed drakes. Drakes don’t have to set or batch, but just loaf, go swimming, and eat. If I was to be a duck I’d rather be a drake, every time.”
