    Once upon a time, in a quaint little town, a curious duck had an unusual craving for grapes. Every day, he would waddle around the town, searching high and low, hoping to find someone who sold grapes.

    One sunny day, the duck spotted a lemonade stand. He waddled towards it with hope in his eyes, thinking that today might be the day he finally finds his beloved grapes.

    The man behind the stand was busy serving lemonade to the town's people. He was surprised to see the duck approach and asked, "Can I help you, little duck?"

    The duck looked up at the man and asked, "Hey!, got any grapes?" The man chuckled and shook his head, "No, we just sell lemonade, but it's cold, fresh, and homemade!"

    Despite the man's enticing description of his lemonade, the duck respectfully declined, "I'll pass." And he waddled away, waddle waddle, to continue his quest the very next day.

    The next day, the duck visited a bakery, a butcher, and even a fish market, but none of them had what he was looking for. He didn't give up, though, and kept on waddling.

    On his travels, he met a kind old lady named Mrs. Appleberry who offered him some delicious apple pie. But the duck politely declined, sticking to his quest for grapes.

    Days turned into weeks, and the duck's search for grapes continued. Each day, he would waddle past the lemonade stand, and each day, the man would offer him a glass of lemonade.

    One morning, as the duck was waddling past the lemonade stand, something caught his eye. The man was arranging a new display - a basket full of round, shiny objects.
