An otter challenges the boastful rabbit a duck capturing contest. The rabbit had previously tricked the otter and was confident that he could win again. The otter easily captures a duck without being noticed and comes back.

The rabbit was starved and weak until he convinced a man to cut open a portion in the trunk to free him.

She fried them up one by one for each daughter as they woke up and walked into the kitchen. She made each one promise not to tell anyone else or they would not receive a duck egg. The father was the last one to wake up and he excitedly opened his drawer to look for the wild duck eggs that he could eat for breakfast but discovered that they were no longer there. He caught a whiff of the lingering scent of the fried duck eggs coming f
