2 New Eggs
Lars, nicknamed Mother Goose, eagerly awaits the arrival of two new goslings to join his flock of ducklings in Quincy, MA. But when the goslings arrive, the ducklings are not as welcoming as he hoped. Lars must navigate through obstacles and learn the value of tolerance to bring harmony to his feathered family.
Lars, an 8-year-old with short blond hair, was excited. He and his mother had ordered two goslings to join their flock of four ducklings. Lars had built a house and a pond with a waterfall for them. He wanted the goslings to bond primarily with him. His mother playfully called him ‘Mother Goose.’
The day finally arrived when the two new goslings were delivered. Lars carefully carried the cardboard box into the backyard. He gently opened it and let the goslings out. The ducklings gathered around, staring curiously. Lars couldn't wait to introduce them.
But the ducklings seemed hesitant and began to quack loudly. Lars tried to calm them, but they wouldn't stop. The goslings looked scared and huddled close to Lars. He felt worried. How could he make them all get along?
Lars' mother came outside and saw the commotion. - What's going on here? she asked. - The ducklings aren't welcoming the goslings, Lars replied. - Give them some time, she suggested. But Lars felt that time wasn't enough. He needed another solution.
Lars decided to separate the goslings and the ducklings for a while. He hoped this would help them get used to each other. - Come on, little ones, he said, guiding the goslings to a different part of the yard. But the ducklings seemed even more upset.
Days went by, but the ducklings still quacked loudly whenever the goslings were near. Lars felt frustrated. - Why won't they just get along? he said to himself. He tried feeding them together, but the ducklings wouldn't share their food. The goslings looked sad and lonely.
Lars decided to build a small fence to keep them apart during feeding time. - Maybe this will help, he thought. But the fence didn't solve the problem. The ducklings still quacked and the goslings stayed afraid. Lars felt like he was failing.
One afternoon, Lars tried to play with them all together. - Let's play a game, he suggested, hoping it would help. But the ducklings ignored the goslings and played by themselves. - This isn't working, Lars sighed. He felt like giving up.
Lars' mother noticed how sad he was. - What's wrong, Lars? she asked. - Nothing is working, he replied. - Maybe you need to try something different, she suggested. Lars thought hard about what different thing he could try.
One evening, Lars had an idea. - What if I spend time with each group separately? he wondered. The next day, he played with the ducklings first, then the goslings. He hoped this would help them feel secure. But they still seemed divided.
Lars felt like he had tried everything. - I can't do this, he said to his mother. - Don't give up, Lars, she replied. - But nothing is working, he insisted. - Sometimes, things take time, she encouraged him. Lars felt a tiny bit better.
Lars sat by the pond, watching the ducklings and goslings from afar. He felt defeated. - I just want them to be friends, he whispered. Tears welled up in his eyes. He felt like giving up for good.
Suddenly, Lars noticed something. The goslings were approaching the ducklings. - What are they doing? he wondered. The goslings gently nuzzled the ducklings. The ducklings seemed surprised but didn't quack loudly. Lars felt a spark of hope.
Lars' mother joined him by the pond. - Look at that, she said. - They're getting along! Lars exclaimed. - Sometimes, all it takes is a little patience, she smiled. Lars realized she was right. He felt his hope return.
The next day, Lars decided to let the birds spend more time together. - Let's see how you all do, he said. To his surprise, the ducklings and goslings played together. They even shared their food. Lars felt proud and happy.
Lars learned an important lesson. - Tolerance and patience can bring us all together, he realized. The goslings and ducklings became close friends. Lars felt like the best 'Mother Goose' ever. He knew he would always protect and care for all of them.
