The Experiment with Truth

Alright. AFJ and I were taking our usual post lunch walk. We chanced upon three ducks basking in the sun. Of the two, one particular duck had a shiny green neck and was the most beautiful among the three. He was quaking continously. So AFJ and I joined in. More quacking, except that the duck's voice got louder. I suppose we sounded hideous.

But I decided we should move on and not interfere in the affairs of our feathered friends. 


But AFJ just wanted to stay there because she could not take her eyes off the ducks. She called out to them, "Tthu tthhu..". I politely reminded her that they were infact ducks and not the canine variety.

Now to add a touch of adventure to our story: AFJ was overcome by this temptation to touch the ducks. I warned her. I told her that they are going to feel threatened and attack her. But nay, she would not listen to me. So she went near them, and our green necked friend rushed at her and AFJ instinctively moved back. A small scream escaped her lips. I sported a smug look which spelt, "I told you so". But she wanted to experiement and find out for herself. Good.

I am glad that I had learnt my lessons well. Thanks to Animal Planet.
