He was trying to think of a plan to get up on top of the barn, but then he realized he has wings. “I can’t believe I forgot my wings,” Duck thought.
When he got to the top, Duch gaped. He could see the whole farm and the forest. He looked around and saw that Mr. Frank (Farmer) was pulling something out of the back of his rusty, pale, blue truck. Duck tried to look closer at what it was but lost his balance and almost toppled over the edge. He decided to fly dawn and investigate.
When he flew down to the blue rusty truck, he found the tall farmer was trying to get a little brown and white goat out of his truck.
“Hi!” Duck said cheerfully.
The goat looked at him and said so quietly that Duck almost didn’t hear her. “Hi,” she said.
Duck asked, “Do you want to play, or get a tour of the farm, or go eat, or …”
“Play,” she interrupted. “I want to play.”
The tiny goat jumped out of the truck. Mr. Brown looked very pleased that the goat had gotten out and walked away,
“So,” Duck said slowly. “What’s your name?”
“My name is Milly. Milly the goat,” she answered. “What is there to play around here?”
“Well, I like to play in the hay loft in the barn,” Duck said, walking toward the big red building. The inside of the barn was massive. It had ten stables, a watering bucket, and on top was the hay loft. There were stairs going up to the loft. The hay was stacked high so when you walked on it, you sunk in.
Duck flew up and Milly climbed the stairs with her tiny goat legs. “Whoa!” she said, as she stumbled on the hay.
“I know,” Duck breathed, “It’s amazing.”
Then something small and furry leaped down and landed at her feet. “Why are you here? You know that you interrupted my nap,” Kip said.
“Oh, hi Kip,” Duck responded. Kip was a gray tabby cat, who was three months old. She was always sleeping or playing in the hay loft.
“Who’s this?” Kip asked brightly.
Duck was about to say Milly’s name, but to his surprise, Milly answered, “My name is Milly.”
“Milly, nice to meet you,” Kip said. “I think I’m going back to bed.”
“Let’s go do something else,” Duck said. “We don’t want to make Kip angry.”
“Where to next?” Milly asked excitedly.
Duck looked around the farm. “I guess we could go to the forest.”
“To the forest we go!” Milly marched away.
As they headed into the forest, Duck saw a cave. Milly saw it, too. “Let’s go in there!” said Milly.
“I don’t know,” Duck said. “It’s probably not safe.”
“Well, let’s go see!” Milly said confidently.
Then she marched off. As they head in, it got darker and darker. “Is there a light?” Milly asked?
“I think, ah, oh, here’s a lamp!” Duck answered.
As the lamp illuminated the room, the two animals saw a train rail. “Let’s see where this goes,” Milly said, walking away.
Duck sighed as he lifted the lamp to keep up with her. As he walked up, Duck see Milly in a cart. “Come, let’s ride!” she said, excitedly.
“No way!” Duck yelled.
“Let’s go. Here, give me the lamp,” Milly said.
Duck sighed. As he climbed in the cart, it started to move. Quickly, he lifted himself in and placed the lamp in between them. Duck looked above the top of the cart and gasped.
Duck was looking at the biggest cavern ever! They were on a narrow rail that overlooked a big abyss. There were huge cavern walls and stalactites hanging tightly from the ceiling. Bats fluttered around the walls, squeaking quietly. Milly was silent as she took in the scene.
Just then, the rails took a sharp turn, then a drop. Duck and Milly screamed as soon as the rails took another sharp turn. Then another.
It started to slow down and Milly, said, “That was … so fun!”
“What?!” Duck said. “We almost died!”
“But we didn’t,” Milly responded.
The cart got slower, slower, and slower. But then it sped up and dropped. The cart picked up speed, then the rails did a loop-de-loop. Milly started to fall out of the art and Duck pulled her back.
“Thanks” Milly breathed.
“No problem,” Duck responded.
The cart slowed down when Duck and Milly came out into the open. Duck squinted. As the two friends started to walk back to the farm, the sun started setting.
“That WAS fun,” Duck said suddenly.
“Yeah, it was,” Milly responded.
“Hey, I just realized I’m not bored anymore,” Duck said. “Thanks!”
“No problem,” Milly breathed.
As the two friends walked back, they talked about their adventure.
THE END.
