Anna's narration of Angus and the Ducks by Marjorie Flack:
Angus was very curious. He started off wondering what he could see under the sofa and woofing up things and who was that in the mirror? And he was curious about the cat and the lead to someone else.
On the other side of the hedge he heard some quacking. It sometimes sounded like this: “Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack,” but usually it sounded like “Quackety, quackety, quack.”
He went inside and outside because the door was opened, and under the hedge. He tried to go around it but it was much too long. He tried going over it, but it was much too high. So he went under it.
And found on the other side, two white fluffy ducks, quacking and quacking. They marched, one-foot-up and one-foot-down.
He went, “WOOF, WOOF, WOOOF!” Away went the ducks.
Each duck dipped its beak into the long cool water and had a long cool drink. Angus watched the ducks dip their beaks into the cool water.
Angus went, “WOOF!” Away went the ducks.
Angus went up to the cool clear water. He drank and had a long drink.
The ducks talked for a while and went “HISS, HISS, HISS! HISS, HISS, HISS!” One duck nipped his tail and one flapped its wings. And under the hedge he went.
He ran back inside under the sofa. For exactly three minutes he was not curious any more.
