Baby Boy Duck paddles down the river. Perhaps the Phenomenal Pheasant will be his momma? But the pheasant just falls over in surprise. He is a very empty-headed bird and cannot find anything to say. “I do not know my daddy,” says Baby Boy Duck. “I wish he could help me.”

Baby Boy Duck paddles sadly down a stream that opens off the river. Here is a farm! He was born on a farm, only last week. He sees a white chicken, but it is even sillier than the pheasant. “My momma was smart,” says Baby Boy Duck. “She had all her ducklings in a row.”

Baby Boy Duck is lost. He sees a very proud, well-dressed chicken and thinks she may be smart enough to be a momma. “Oh, I am too smart to be a mother,” she says. “You should look for my sister Flora. She is dull and homely enough to be a mother.”

Baby Boy Duck does not know how someone can be too smart to be a momma. Mommas must keep their ducklings in a row. As he sadly waddles down the path with tears in his eyes, he finds a small round chick. “Do you have a momma?” he asks. But all the chick will say is “momma”.

Baby Boy Duck waddles off, and the small round chick follows him. “Now I must be brave for two,” says Baby Boy Duck. He hears a happy song and follows it to Deedee. “Where is Flora?” asks Baby Boy Duck. ”This way!” chirps Deedee. She flies ahead of the chicks to show them the way.

Deedee leaves the little ones with Flora. “Will you be our momma?” asks Baby Boy Duck. “I did not deserve mine.” Flora thinks. “I will help find your mother. I wanted chicks, but did not deserve them.” “That’s silly!” says Baby Boy Duck. “Then you deserve your mother,” said Flora.

“I will take you both home,” said Flora. “Then we can look for your mothers. Oh dear, we must not follow that monkey,” she says, not telling the chicks what a fowler is. “We will go by a safer way.” Flora could fly home if she was alone, but she must walk with the chicks.

Flora takes the chicks to town. More monkeys are hanging a sign at the Welfare Stores. “Duckweed latte for you; creamy sweet corn for your friend,” she says. “Does he have a name? Let us call him Reuben.” Reuben still did not say anything, but he looked happier.

“We are past the worst danger, the Fowlers, but now I need to be careful,” said Flora. “I do not know the way. Oh look – Weasel Forest. We must avoid weasels. Someone should teach those monkeys to spell!” So she led Reuben and Baby Boy Duck away from the forest.

Flora feared the bear with his axe, but “Wales Forester” showed his axe was for trees. “Can you show us the way home?” she asks. “We’re afraid the monkeys will lead us astray.” “Find my brother,” said the bear. “He sails the Four Seas. He knows all kinds of places. And trust the monkeys”

“Shelter at any building except Doubting Castle,” the bear had told Flora. “I’m tired,” said Baby Boy Duck. Reuben cheeped miserably. “If I trust the bear then I must trust the monkeys as well,” said Flora, seeing this was not Doubting Castle but Fearless Tower.

The next day they carried on down the path and came to the Rosewater Elves. “There seem to be two kinds,” said Flora. “And those monkeys need spelling lessons!” But the Elves were not interested in them.

The Elves were arguing in their whispery voices. Flora looked at the monkeys; they had changed the sign. “I wonder what that sign would say if the monkeys got it right?” she asked. But as she turned, she saw a welcome sight. “There is the sea!” she said.

“You met my brother Wales?” asked the bear. “Yes, he said you sail the Four Seas,” said Flora. “I have a trawler,” he replied. Flora clucked with annoyance. “Those monkeys are playing tricks on us." The bear disagreed. “Head for the swamp and trust the monkeys," he said.

Baby Boy Duck and Reuben feared the alligator. “He can’t be our foe,” mused Flora. ”We aren’t wrestlers.” Baby Boy Duck and Reuben calmed down and listened to the alligator as he told them really terrible ‘knock, knock’ jokes.

“I’m glad you can’t read that sign,” said Flora. She turned away from the monkeys in disgust, and then she saw the path to her home!

“What does that sign say?” asked Baby Boy Duck. “It says Flora’s Sweeter,” said Flora, who felt embarrassed. “It’s my home. I think the monkeys are apologizing.”

“Are you going to have chicks?” asked Baby Boy Duck. “I make clay eggs and paint them,” said Flora. “I wanted chicks …”. She changed the subject. “I am taking these eggs to the fair.” “I miss my family ... can I hatch one?” asked Baby Boy Duck. Reuben just cheeped happily.

How could Flora find the little ones’ mothers? Could they be at the fair? Going would entertain Baby Boy Duck and Reuben. When they arrived, she saw the sign. All she could say was “Oh … oh. Of course. Oh ….” The little ones thought she was funny.

Beautibelle is questing! Episode 24/25

The fair was all about flowers, not eggs. Flora liked bluebells, so she visited a stall where a bear was displaying them. “You must be the family my brother Wales told me of,” he said. ”All the eggs are at the top of the hill."

Beautibelle is questing! Episode 25/25

Beautibelle was at the hill top. “Momma!” cried Baby Boy Duck. “See! My son!” honked Mother Goose, as she ran to Reuben. Flora stood and stared at the shepherd. “I looked for you for years,” she said. He smiled. “When you chose to be a shepherd yourself, you were sure to find me.”
