Hello
everyone.
From
the 11th to the 12th Ali and her family went to visit the
grandparents. I came along, of course and had a wonderful time, but
then I got stuck under the sheets in the bed, and Ali forgot me!
The
grandparents found me, thankfully and have given me a nice place to
stay, but I wont be able to post any pictures until Ali comes for
Christmas and brings me home.
In
the meantime, I will tell you my story.
My
story began Christmas eve of 2011.
Ali had been wanting a stuffed duck for a long time, and Santa knew
how much she wanted one. So he gathered up all of us ducks in his
workshop and examined each of us to see who would be right for Ali.
After looking each one of us over thoroughly, he went into his office
to think. Us ducks all waited eagerly outside the big guy's office
and after what seemed like ages he stepped out and spoke. "I
know how much every one of you ducks wants to be delivered to the
house of Ali tonight, but only one of you is the perfect match.
Delbert, congratulations, from this day forward, you will be Ali's
stuffing-stuffed companion."
I was so excited I almost screamed, but I'm too manly to do that. It
was an excitement-packed evening as we got everything ready for the
big night. Finally, Santa climbed onto the sleigh, and with a
Now w, Dasher!
Now w, Dancer!
etc. we were off! It
was the ride of a lifetime. Better than a roller coaster!
When
we finally arrived at Ali’s house, not a creature was stirring, not
even a mouse. The big guy took me out of the sleigh, along with a
bunch of other gifts, and headed down the chimney. He placed me in a
chair with Ali’s other gifts and then came the boring
part. Waiting. I was too excited to fall asleep, even though I was
really tired. I
did end up drifting off after a while though. After what seemed like
an eternity, I heard everyone waking up. I straightened my bow tie
and smoothed my feathers just before Ali came in. The moment I saw
her it was love at first sight.
Ali
is the best companion a duck could ever have and I am so glad Santa
picked me. There is much more to my story so I will have to do a part
two of this post. I hope you enjoyed!
