Story of Duck: Tiger vs Duck

Learn What You Need

Once upon a time, during the swimming session in the middle of the lake, Mama Duck taught her son to dive.

“It’s useless skill, Mom. Why should I dive and hold my breath under water? We don’t need diving skills to get fish,” Young mallard duck named Anas protested.

“One day you will know. It’s survival skill. Learn and practice! Your skill will be useful for you,” said Mama Duck.

Then, Anas, the Young Duck, practiced diving. Every day, when he swam, he practiced diving skills.

Three months later, one sunny afternoon in a lush green jungle, a mighty tiger named Tigor, who was widely known for his strength and speed, was walking through the jungle and his stomach started growling. He realized it was time for lunch.

As Tigor padded through the trees, he came upon a sparkling lake. The water sparkled in the sunlight, and in the middle of the lake swam a lively mallard duck named Anas. Anas was having so much fun diving and splashing around in the water, completely unaware of the greedy eyes watching him from the shore.

Tigor crouched down in the tall grass and gazed at Anas the Young Duck. “Ah, some delicious duck meat would make a perfect meal,” he thought. Anas was not only playful, but also very agile, so he knew he would have to be quick and clever.

Tigor decided to wait until Anas came closer. He was confident that he could jump with his strong legs and catch the duck. But Anas was no ordinary duck. He was clever and always cautious.

As Tigor stealthily approached, Anas heard a rustling in the grass. He stopped and listened carefully. Realizing that he might be in danger, he decided to dive underwater. As Tigor prepared to jump, he suddenly lost sight of his target.

Anas swam skillfully just below the surface, hiding from the tiger’s gaze with his graceful movements. No matter how hard Tigor tried, he just couldn’t see where Anas had gone.

After many failed attempts to catch Anas, Tigor finally gave up. He realized that sometimes being strong and fast wasn’t enough. Intelligence and adaptability were equally important. Tigor lay by the lake and watched from afar as Anas jumped in and played, admiring his skill and intelligence. Tigor could not see the duck.

From that day on, Anas, the young duck, realized the importance of learning what he needed while Tigor, the tiger, came to respect the talents of these animals and understand that each had their own strengths. And Anas continued to enjoy swimming.

The jungle was a place where all living things could thrive, where they could live and learn using their special abilities.
