Pluckie And Berry

Pluckie and Berry



Pluckie was a small yellow duck, he had no friends, always by himself, and picked on because of his feather color. Pluckie wasn't like the rest of the other ducks. He was slightly smaller for his age, the brightest yellow in the box, and he could definately stand out in a crowd.
   Pluckie enjoyed school though. He always waddled around the halls before it started, and around the grass on lunch. He kind of liked being alone because he had some time to think.


One day, while waddling around at lunch, Pluckie came across another duck  who was under the tree crying. Pluckie couldn't just walk away... he grew curious and waddled over to the saddened duck.
   "Whats wrong?" Pluckie questioned the other duck.
   "Everyone is teasing me because of my smaller size and outrageous color" the other duck replied.
Outrageous may have been the correct term. The other ducks were a "Macaroni And Cheese" Color. .. This duck was more of a "Jelly Bean" yellow.... almost the same as Pluckie. 


Pluckie sat himself next to the sad duck, and patted the ducks back with his wing for comfort.


"I know how you feel, I get picked on from time to time because of my size and color also" Pluckie told him.
"You do?" The other duck replied, finally looking up.
"Of course I do" Pluckie said.


"What is your name?"
"I am Pluckie"
"I am Berry..." The other duck said


Pluckie noticed that Berry had much in common with himself, a loner, picked on, smaller, and color. 


Pluckie and Berry were friends from that day on, and the were friends until the end. Pluckie and Berry had always taught other duckings to never judge a duck bu its feather, to love them for who they are not what they looked like.
