Tuppence a Bag

 Every spring we have a pair of mallard ducks that hang around the water-filled ditches of our street corner. Yesterday, when coming home from running errands, Leila and I decided we would try to feed them. We raced inside, grabbed some bread and headed outside to tip-toe near them. They weren't too sure about us though and we ended up following them across the street and into the field.

 We couldn't get them to trust us or even try the bread...

 ...luckily, Leila wasn't too upset by it. She ate the ducks' snack herself!
We aren't giving up though! And if they don't want our bread, we might head over to the park and try those ducks this week.
