It was a bright sunny day on the farm. The little duckling woke up to find his mother missing. He looked around, puzzled and scared.

With a heavy heart, the duckling decided to search the whole farm. 'I must find my mother!' he quacked, his tiny voice full of determination.

The duckling waddled into the chicken coop. The hens clucked sympathetically, and the rooster crowed, 'Don't worry, your mother must be around somewhere!'

'Thank you, friends,' quacked the duckling, feeling a little better. 'I'll continue my search.' And off he went, on his tiny webbed feet.

In the barn, the cows mooed comfortingly, and the horses neighed, 'Cheer up, little one. We'll help you find your mother!'

The duckling thanked the cows and horses, feeling hopeful. He continued his search, his quack echoing around the farm.

At the pond, the frogs croaked, 'Don't cry, little duckling. We're sure your mother is safe!'

The duckling felt a surge of courage. He thanked the frogs and continued his quest, his heart filled with hope.

Finally, near the woods, the duckling found his mother. She was looking for him too! She quacked, 'My dear, I was so worried!'

'Mother!' the duckling cried joyfully. They hugged tightly, their hearts filled with love and relief.

The news of the duckling's reunion spread across the farm. Everyone celebrated, their hearts filled with joy and happiness.

The duckling and his mother returned to their pond, their home. The duckling had learned a valuable lesson about courage, friendship, and love.
