The duck
and

the boy
Written and illustrated by

Elly Color
“Thank you so much for
buying this sweet book! I hope
that you will really enjoy it!
This book was written
with a lot of love for children
from all over the world!”
These words are from
your beloved Romanian writer,

ELLY
COLOR
In a big park with a pond and some trees
A white duck tells everyone he sees...
...that he likes them; he explains them why
Even if they’re popular or just shy.
“I like you, green frog;
Some great jumps you’ve got!”
“I like you, white swan;
At elegance you’re number one!”
“I like you, pretty butterfly;
With your wings you could really fly!”
“I like you, fluffy bunny;
You’re sweeter than any honey!”
“I like you, shiny fish;
You swim faster than my greatest wish!”
The duck spends his day like this
Until he sees a boy; his mind
twists:
“I don’t like you, human boy
You don’t bring me any joy!”
The boy doesn’t understand why the
duck is mean.
He asks the duck for an answer for
him.
“Children like you don’t even care
About our feelings! That’s not
fair!”
“You throw trash everywhere
In places for that we take much
care!”
“You threat us really, really bad
You just want to make us sad!”
So go away, before you do the same!
I don’t want to be in your mean game!”
“OK, little duck, I understand you,
But first you have to listen me too.
I’m not like the other ones;
I’m the one who comes...”
“...every morning, who gives you
breakfast
But you always hide so fast;
I couldn’t even win your trust.”
“Wow, your words are so amazing;
All the time I was misunderstanding
The people who I judged the same,
Even if with good reasons they
came.”
“Now I changed my mind;
Some people like you are kind.
I have to listen always to them
Before I will ever judge’em.”
The duck and the boy
Their friendship they enjoy.
Later, they visit each other every
day
And many games together they play.
“Not every child is the same;
To have a good heart is your aim.
I love you, my human friend!
Our friendship will never end!”
THE END
What a sweet poem! I
can’t wait to see you
again!
