(Note: This sto­ry was cre­at­ed by Bird Hero based on the chil­dren’s art­work and on-the-spot dis­cus­sions dur­ing class. He impro­vised it while upload­ing the pic­tures. The point is to illus­trate that any mate­r­i­al can be used in sto­ry cre­ation; even “unre­li­able” imag­i­na­tions have their own log­ic. Imag­i­na­tion is the cor­ner­stone of cre­ativ­i­ty. Chil­dren’s minds are uncon­strained, and adults should learn from them.

10ageBrave Lit­tle Girl
The lit­tle girl who was track­ing the bath ducks sailed past the Cape of Good Hope in a small one-per­son boat.

A huge mon­ster liv­ing in Antarc­ti­ca saw her.
“Hey, I’ll take it first.!”“I step on it! I step on it!”

The poor lit­tle girl escaped from the boat. She was seri­ous­ly injured and lay in the lifeboat.
Go with the flow.

She could­n’t hold on any longer…The whales dis­cov­ered the lit­tle girl.
“Wake up! Wake up!” The whale pushed her gen­tly.

With the help of the whales,The lit­tle girl final­ly stood up.

She board­ed a sin­gle-engine sea­plane and pre­pared to resume her jour­ney.

What about that big mon­ster? He got hit on the head by a round mete­orite and fell head­first into the sea.

Final­ly, here’s anoth­er fam­i­ly pho­to.

9age“remains“In far­away Cen­tral and South Amer­i­ca, there are pyra­mid ruins left by the Mayans, which are com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent from the pyra­mids in Egypt.There is also a strange giant starfish, which is said to have been left by the Mayans. It is a bro­ken space­ship.

Many relics remain on the ancient con­ti­nent, but no one pays atten­tion to them.The trop­i­cal rain­forests there are becom­ing increas­ing­ly scarce.

A big red fish climbed onto the shore.

A canoe that had been lying on the bot­tom of the sea was sent.

The big red fish looked at the des­o­late con­ti­nent, shook his head and left. The sea was full of secrets and the land was not worth lin­ger­ing on.

6 years oldMr. Duck Trav­els in AfricaMr. Weird Duck got up in the morn­ing and brushed his teeth with Antarc­tic snow.Look­ing back, I saw that it was very live­ly in Africa.

Swim over and take a look!

Africa is real­ly fun, like a big play­ground.

Here is the tallest pyra­mid in the world, so high that at noon the sun just moves to its tip to rest.

Mr. Weird Duck made a new friend, a bee tur­tle who speaks in a buzzing voice.

Bee Tur­tle intro­duces her friend: the big white-eyed blue whale.

The blue whale with big white eyes intro­duced his friend: the big sea clam with go-piece eyes.A green Nile croc­o­dile arrived on a leaf scoot­er.

With so many good friends, Mr. Weird Duck hopes that the days will pass slow­er, so the Nile Croc­o­dile calls his friend the Moon Snail to car­ry the Moon and crawl slow­ly.I heard that Mr. Duck holds a ban­quet every day, and the Octo­pus Pirate King also comes to join in the fun. He car­ries his crown and trea­sure with him wher­ev­er he goes, for fear of los­ing them.The col­or­ful flat­fish in the sea laughed and blew bub­bles, gur­gling, gur­gling.

The sun is rest­ing, the moon is ris­ing slow­ly, the days in Africa are so long, Mr. Weird Duck is sat­is­fied!

7 years oldFol­low the Whales

The shell boat Lit­tle Duck, in search of a bath duck, arrives at a con­ti­nent with three pyra­mids.Where is the lit­tle duck in the vast ocean? She met a group of whales and asked for direc­tions.

The whales were very enthu­si­as­tic and sur­round­ed the shell boat.There are a pair of orange whale broth­ers, and a pan­da whale.

There are blue whale moth­ers and blue whale babies.

The old­er blue whale boy always likes to lie on oth­er peo­ple’s backs and look at the blue sky. That’s how he makes him­self look bluer and bluer.

There are also bel­u­ga whales, green whales, and many oth­er whales.

The whales said, “We have seen the Drift­ing Duck. Come on, we will take you there.”
The huge group of whales lined up in a sin­gle col­umn and took the shell boat Lit­tle Duck away from the con­ti­nent with three pyra­mids.

Trav­el around the world.


Many years lat­er, peo­ple found the strand­ed Lit­tle Duck, cov­ered in sea­weed, starfish, and shells. There was a lit­tle Haibao doll in the ocean. Did it find the rub­ber bath duck? No one knows!

4 years oldThe Kind Red Shark

The lit­tle duck float­ed and float­ed until he met a big shark with red spots on its skin and a big mouth with white teeth.

“Are you going to eat me? You look so scary!”

The shark climbed ashore and shook his head vig­or­ous­ly: “Every­one says I’m scary, but I’m actu­al­ly very kind. I have red scis­sors, I’ll cut a moon for you.”

The shark clicked and waved its red scis­sors, cut­ting out the white full moon, the yel­low cres­cent moon, the pur­ple and the orange ones, and invit­ed the moon to a singing par­ty.

Please invite the frangi­pani to sing with the moon.The duck­ling was so hap­py that it laid an egg. The egg white was wrapped around the yolk, which looked real­ly nice.

Shark, Moon Flower, Duck­ling and Duck Egg, every­one sang songs with bright smiles.

They took a pho­to togeth­er, and the shark said, “Lit­tle duck, you’ll sail across the sea, trav­el south and north, and tell oth­ers that I’m the kind­est per­son.” The lit­tle duck agreed!

9 years oldUFO BaseThe Drift­ing Duck lands in Antarc­ti­ca with an Arc­tic fish on its head.

Walk­ing east and look­ing west, there is noth­ing in Antarc­ti­ca, only a vast expanse of white.

“Hold still! Put your hands up!” the fly­ing saucer jumped out and yelled. The duck­ling jumped in fright and the Arc­tic fish fell to the ground.

It turned out to be a mis­un­der­stand­ing. The UFO called the mis­siles and the plane to meet new friends togeth­er.

Wow, there are so many advanced weapons here.

UFO takes the duck­ling to vis­it the Antarc­tic base and gives him a solar hat, which is said to keep him warmer the more he wears it.

Par­tic­i­pat­ing in the Antarc­tic mil­i­tary parade, one, two, one, march! The duck­lings met new friends and every­one was very hap­py!
 

NONO 9 years old Canoe War­rior


The bath duck drift­ed to a mys­te­ri­ous sea area. The water was pitch black and the atmos­phere was weird. He saw a ship­wreck in the water.

What hap­pened to the “NONO ship­wreck”? Yuya is puz­zled.

“Haha­ha…” Sud­den­ly, a strange laugh was heard. The bath duck turned around and saw the sea king octo­pus grin­ning. “Every­thing here is mine, includ­ing you!”

“Includ­ing you! Includ­ing you!” The accom­plice of the sea octo­pus is a blue-skinned shark, and its cry is very unpleas­ant.Sud­den­ly, a brave man came rush­ing over in a canoe like an arrow.

“Octo­pus sea mon­ster, don’t be so arro­gant! I’ll take care of you!”

The canoe rushed at high speed towards Octo­pus’s boat, cap­sized it, and threw the shark out with it.“Thank you, Canoe War­rior!” “Why thank you? I’m a lone ranger in the sea. I’ll show up wher­ev­er there’s dan­ger.”

The canoe war­riors were real­ly awe­some. They defeat­ed the sea mon­sters that blocked their way, repaired the NONO ship­wreck, and said good­bye to the drift­ing duck.

Run towards the vast ocean, that is his world.

My Friend the Lit­tle Pen­guin
The lit­tle duck drift­ed to Antarc­ti­ca. Who are those peo­ple in black suits?

It turns out they are a pen­guin fam­i­ly.

The old­er pen­guin is rid­ing on the Antarc­tic sheep, and the younger pen­guin wants to ride too.

Okay, okay, let’s ride togeth­er. There’s real­ly noth­ing you can do about it!

The lit­tle duck had a great time chat­ting with the pen­guin fam­i­ly, but she had a long way to go and could­n’t play for too long.

“Good­bye, lit­tle duck.” “Good­bye, lit­tle pen­guin. I’ll come back to see you next time I trav­el around the world to Antarc­ti­ca!”

Col­or­ful Fish in a Quilt­ed Jack­et

There was a fish that loved to wear cot­ton-padded jack­ets. It put on lay­er after lay­er. It was no longer cold, but it could not swim any­more and often had to go ashore to rest.

Lat­er, it was baked by the sun and lay on the plate, sleep­ing even more sound­ly.
 
Miao­miao, 4 years and 9 months old The Morn­ing of the Time Giant
Ear­ly in the morn­ing, beep beep, Mr. Red Hat blows the horn.

The rub­ber duck was wok­en up and yawned as he asked ques­tions: “Why are you get­ting up so ear­ly? Why is the horn blow­ing so loud­ly?”

“To wake up the Time Giant.” “The Time Giant?” “Yes, that’s him—doing morn­ing exer­cis­es in the morn­ing light!”

The giant of time took great strides, car­ry­ing the duck­ling every­where: “Look, how beau­ti­ful our world is!”“The sun ris­es in the east and sets in the west, and time flows on with­out stop­ping. A day pass­es in the blink of an eye. What a shame to waste time!”

The lit­tle duck looked into the sea and saw a fish fos­sil lying there. It was so col­or­ful and beau­ti­ful that it had been lying there from ancient times to the present day.

The giant told the duck­ling, “It was a giant jaw­fish from 200 mil­lion years ago. It was the most live­ly lit­tle ani­mal in the sea. Back then, there was no land, and it played games with me every day.”“It does­n’t know that time will pass, and it does­n’t know that it can change into stone.“The lit­tle duck, under­stand­ing what he heard, quick­ly jumped into the water and hur­ried on. “I don’t want to be a fos­sil. I can’t waste my time!”

“Good­bye lit­tle duck—I wish you a safe jour­ney around the world and a speedy return home!”

Pan­daren of Sea Snake Bay
The Pan­daren live in Sea Ser­pent Bay.

There are many sea snakes in Sea Snake Bay, orange in col­or, coiled in cir­cles, and a large num­ber of them are clus­tered togeth­er.

The lit­tle bath duck drift­ed here. She did not dis­turb the sea snake or the pan­da peo­ple, and float­ed away qui­et­ly.
 

Zhuzhu is 3 years old The World of Rain­bow Snail

The lit­tle yel­low sea snake swam ashore and met a rain­bow snail.

“Hel­lo, snail! Tell me why your shell is so beau­ti­ful?”

The snail said, “My secret is to eat flower mush­room heads every day.”

After eat­ing the flower mush­room head, the snail shell will become beau­ti­ful and it will also poop out a rain­bow poop.Rain­bow poop falls to the bot­tom of the sea. It is good stuff and the five-clawed starfish will come to eat it.
You eat, I eat, noth­ing is wast­ed.
The lit­tle duck float­ed to the world of the rain­bow snail, with a starfish as a hat and a sea snake as a scarf, and they all became friends.

The duck­ling said, “It’s so fun here, so friend­ly and beau­ti­ful. I’ll come again in the future!”

How to Defeat Mr. Scary Rab­bitMr. Scary Bun­ny is very dif­fi­cult to defeat.

Because he has a part­ner, Mr. Brain­less.

He also has a sub­or­di­nate named Rock Fish, which is the same col­or and hard as the stone.

Not to men­tion the three sea snake broth­ers… How hard would it be to defeat Mr. Hor­ri­ble Rab­bit?

They lay on the land all day bask­ing in the sun, their bod­ies becom­ing so limp that they could hard­ly stand up, but the more they basked in the sun, the more bad ideas they had.

Haha, a lit­tle bath duck that fell behind was caught by them and locked up in a water prison by Mr. Scary Rab­bit, with a long rock fish as the prison door and three sea snake broth­ers as guards.

“Hehe, don’t even think about run­ning! Wait until I get tanned and soft­ened, then I’ll come and eat roast duck!” said Mr. Scary Rab­bit.

“I’m not afraid of you!” The lit­tle duck jumped onto the shore and crushed Mr. Scary Rab­bit.The oth­er lit­tle ducks came to sup­port them, crushed the evil sea snake, crip­pled the idiot man, and then crushed Mr. Scary Rab­bit even more flat.
Lit­tle duck, you have won, you have defeat­ed Mr. Scary Rab­bit, and you can con­tin­ue sail­ing!
