Once upon a time there was a little white duck named Wendy. She lived on a farm with her family.

Every morning, she would go out and explore the farm. She would walk around the pond and swim in the lake. She enjoyed the fresh air and the warm sunshine.

One day, Wendy decided to take a trip to the nearby woods. As she was walking, she saw a little rabbit hopping around. She was so excited and ran up to the rabbit to say hello.

The little rabbit was scared at first, but then he saw that Wendy was friendly and stopped running. The two of them became friends and started to play together. They ran around the woods, chasing each other and having a great time.

After a while, Wendy had to go home. She said goodbye to the rabbit and thanked him for being her friend. She then flew back to the farm.

From that day on, Wendy never forgot her new friend. Whenever she was out exploring, she would always look for the little rabbit in the woods.

The end.
