The Fable of the Ducks and Hens by Duckmander Quackwell
Children and adults alike will be captivated by this tale of rivalry between hard-working and kindly, though rather naive DUCKS and pushy, scheming, power-hungry HENS.
This seems a simple story, but deeper layers will be revealed with each re-reading.
The tale is set in the far distant past -- back 'when animals could speak' -- but is it an allegory for what is taking place today, before our very eyes?
Beware one thing,
when you tell this tale now and then,
there may be hens may be about
Who say it's "ANTI-HEN".
Thank you for this history, Duckmander Quackwell.
