Ducky Quack Cooks His Own Meal

"Ducky Quack Cooks His Own Meal" (a classic Dutch children's story, often recited or read aloud): Ducky Quack is a stubborn and independent duckling who thinks he can do everything himself. 

One day, he decides to cook his own meal, without help from Mother Duck or the other animals. 

He gets to work full of courage: he picks carrots, fetches water from the ditch, makes a fire... but everything goes wrong. 

The pot tips over, the food burns, and in the end, Ducky Quack is left with a huge mess. 

When he's hungry and sad, Mother Duck comes to help anyway. 

Ducky Quack learns that it's okay to be independent, but that doing things together (and sometimes asking for help) is also very nice and smart. 

Moral: Independence is good, but cooperation is sometimes better!
