02 富兰克林和小鸭子 Franklin AND THE DUCKLING

Ties his shoes ,

He could care for his dog Sam and Goldie his goldfish But one day ,Franklin had something to care for that took a lot more of his time than he had planned

Come on Bear , the water’s not so cold once you used to it !

I know , it’s the getting-used-to-it part I don’t like

I’ll race you to that log , On your mark

Wait , I’m not used to the water yet !

Get set

I’m not racing franklin , I’m not !

Go!

Franklin ! ohh!

I won !

What was that ?

A duckling ! Look, It’s coming over

Hi ,there . We’re swimming in your back yard , aren’t we ?

I wonder what it wants

Maybe it thinks you’re his Mom.

You think so ?

Try swimming away and see what it does.

See?

You sure are cute

Brrr. I ‘m starting to get cold .Franklin, Let’s go

What about this little duck?

Should we take him with us ?

I don’t think so Franklin .

Why not ?

Because his home is here at the pond .

Where’s its mom and dad then ?

I don’t see any big ducks , do you ?

Well , no , but

We can’t just leave the little guy here all by himself

I suppose not but

Then we have to take him with us

I’d be worried about him If we didn’t

We could take turns looking after him , Bear .

This week he could be with me at my house and next week he could stay with you

I don’t think my mom and dad will let me .And I don’t think yours will either franklin

How come ?

Remember that time your mom found those frogs in the bathtub?

Oh yeh

She told you that frogs belong in the pond , not in the house

And she made me take them right back .

I’ll have to keep this duckling a secret

Where are you going to hide it

Hmm ,in my bed room I guess with the door closed

I’m going home for lunch

Don’t forget we have a soccer game today

Yeah , I won’t

See ya’later , Franklin

Bye!

Hello, Franklin

Did you have a nice swim at the pond ?

My swim ? oh yeah , my swim . It was fun

Now you’re here

maybe we can work together

and finish this job

Uh , no , I’ll do it Mom.

You don’t have to help me

Oh, all right then

Thank you , franklin

What

Don’t just throw everything in the closet all right ?

Okay., I won’t

Good ,I’ll head out to the garden

Whew , Shhh!! Thar was close

You’ve gotta’ be really quiet , okay ?

This is my buddy Sam

You make friends with him while I find you a nest

This should work

There ,, that ‘s better , isn’t it ?

Shhh! You sure make a lot of noise .

Oh!I know , you’re hungry , aren’t you ? Don’t go any where ,I ‘ll be right back .

Duckling is going to love the meals I make You don’t get Corn Crunchies ’ down at the pond .

Hmm Have a little snack before lunch ,are we franklin?

Uh , I was feeling a little hungry .

Go ahead . I didm’t see a thing

Thanks dad!

It was ,, I mean Care for a t a Corn Crunchies , dear ?

Hey , how ‘d you get down there ?

Ew , yack !

I forgot about that!

Here , you have something to eat and I’ll put down some newspapers before that happens again.

Oh no

Shhh! Not so loud !

Gee . for such a small guy , you sure make a lot of noise and a lot of mess

You’ve got my whole room , Why do you want to be on this spot !

Franklin, lunch is ready

Okay!

Look , if I’m going to take care of you . you ‘re going to have to help me a little , Okay?

And that means trying to be more quiet And not getting into stuff

And when the ducks old enough to look after themselves?

I suppose when their feathers and wings are fully grown and they don’t need the constant care of their parents

And they fly south as soon as it’s autumn , right ?

That’s right

You’re very interested in ducks .all the sudden franklin

Uh , they are kind of neat , don’t you think ?

Yes they are . sure

Umm , I just remembered , I’ve got a soccer game .I’d better get ready

Looks like we’ve got to get you anther hiding spot . You’re getting into too much mischief in here.

Are you sure you brought the papers then ? Yes , I ‘m sure .I had the crossword puzzle half-finished

Bye!Mom! I can’t be late for soccer game I’ll see you later .

Have fun !

Okay!

You can’t still be hungry !

Do you want to it rain again?

It’s empty again ,You sure need a lot of looking after

It looks like I won’t be playing much soccer this summer or anything else either

Oh , hello , Bear !

Hi! I’m coming to get franklin for soccer he is late and everyone is waiting for him

That’s strange he left nearly half hour ago

Yes , he was in a quiet a hurry

He didn’t want to be late

I wonder where he is ?

Wow, You know how franklin can get side-tracked . First we ‘ll check around the house and then we’ll

Call around to some of his friends

Hey! There ‘s his soccer stuff!

Franklin?

Hi, bear!

Oh ,There you are

Thank goodness you are safe .

What are you doing in here son?

Yeah , how come you aren’t at the soccer game ?

This is why.

I thought talking care of a little duckling will be a lot of fun , But I found out it’s a lot of work

What about its parents , Franklin?

I’ll bet they are very worried

Yes just like we were about you

It doesn’t have any parents

That’s why franklin brought him home

I know you wanted to help the duckling, and that ‘s a good thing

But I suspect this little one simply wandered too far from its family to do some exploring

Yeah , It does do a lot of wandering and exploring .

Shall we take this guy back to pond ?

Will you help me to find his mom and dad ?

We’ll try our best

Thanks dad

Hey ! there are some big ducks !

And little ducks too !

That could be the family we’re looking for

Yep! That is the family!

Goodby little duckling!

Wow ! Look at him go !

His mom and dad sure look happy to see him

I know just how they feel

Hey , there they are!

Do you want to play soccer or what ?

I sure do ! Come on Bear!

Another happy ending !

Yes everyone is back where they belong
