a tall personality We have to write a fairy tale in German, this is mine auf English. This is a story about a duck. This duck lived (for most of the year) at the pond by the bell tower at BYU. His favorite food in the whole world was bread from the Morris Center. There was nothing he liked more than when people brought him Morris Center bread. He always fought the hardest to get all the bread he could, and he did, he was the duck with the most bread every time. This was because he had a secret. Every night, once everyone went to sleep, the duck would sneak across the sidewalk, hide in the bushes and wait for the deer to come out. He would watch them hop, and run, and then scamper off when a car came. Once they moved on to the south side of campus, the duck would practice running and leaping like the deer. It was because of all this practice that he was able to get all the Morris Center bread before the other ducks could. His second desire, closely behind having all the bread in the Morris Center was to become a deer. The closer he got to becoming a deer the more Morris Center bread he ate, and the happier he became…or so he thought.
One night the duck thought he heard the deer across the sidewalk, so he snuck across and hid in the bushes, but he didn’t see any deer. Instead, the Morris Center bread fairy (who puts out the bread in the Morris Center on Wednesday mornings) appeared before him! The Morris Center bread fairy just happens to be the bell tower duck fairy as well, and she was worried about this particular duck. She told him that he needed to choose between being a duck and a deer, eating Morris Center bread, and being able to leap and run.
The duck thought long and hard about this. He decided to try being only a duck, so he stopped going to watch the deer and practice leaping for a few nights, and he felt terribly unfulfilled. He knew if it weren’t for the Morris Center bread he would choose to be a deer in half a second. He decided not to let the want of luxuries ruin his life, and after a week went by, he found the Morris Center bread/bell tower duck fairy and told her he wanted to be a deer forever. She nodded, waved her breadstick wand and granted his wish.
At first, the duck was so happy, he could finally make real friends with the deer, and he could jump and leap all day and all night. After a little while though, he got sick of eating grass, he missed talking to his family, and he missed eating Morris Center bread with the rest of the ducks. He was stuck as a deer though, and he knew he couldn’t change it so he did the best he could to live out his life as the happiest deer he could be, though he often hid in the bushes and watched the ducks fight over the bread people fed them.
The moral of the story is: Don’t steal bread from the Morris Center and feed it to the ducks, the Morris Center bread fairy has to work over-time and the ducks get confused.
