Snuck

You have to know one thing about the duck: Most times he goes undercover.

That is why last night he took me completely by surprise, when he conforted me while being down.

"A snake doesn't go hunting when he just ate", he said, "but always waits until he digested the food, because he needs some rest to regenerate". That was all, and suddenly I understood everything.

So,my dears, I decided I needed some time to lick my past wounds and prepare for new ones.

Until we shall meet again, I proclaim the duck as HERO OF THE DAY, because he manages even now, when we've been together for ages, to leave me speachless in admiring him.
