The Story of Duck Mom

I saw a mother duck while on a walk down an intersection in a small forest far away from a lake. It's an unexpected place to see a duck. As we passed by, the mother duck quickly ran away and was looking at her nest from a distance. She was protecting five little duck eggs. After that, I went for a walk there every day, and sometimes my husband would join me. Carefully, so as not to stress the duck mother who was hiding, so she wouldn't think she was in any danger, my husband and I would watch from a distance when passing by. One day, the mother duck left the nest and only the duck shells remained. I think the eggs hatched and the ducks went to a new place. A couple of years have passed since then.

 

Recently, there was a pair of ducks close to a promenade. The day after, there was a female duck alone in the same place. A male duck was looking at it from a distance. I was thinking, “are you looking for a place where female ducks lay eggs?” 

 

The innate fate of a female duck is to lay eggs and protect them. Likewise, every mother in the world is like that.
