Mocked Duck

A Fable of a Duck and a Fish.
This is the story of Mr. Duck who always saw the fish, a speck of silver to be mined from a blue stream. Carefully adjusting his trajectory, Mr. Duck dove blindly into the waters, again and again. He was never really certain of what was beneath the surface of the stream, except for the fish. That he knew was there...swimming, swimming, mocking in his continued freedom. Over and over Mr. Duck would mount up his wings, make the long arch across the sky and zero in on his scaly prey. Not once did Mr. Duck think twice of his fate, for he was sure that no matter how many attempts, if his aim was true he would reap the benefit. In the end there was a busted beak, and a sprained wing, but there was also the reward of the full gizzard.

The Moral: If at fish you don't succeed, fly fly again.
