The Half-baked Mallard
On a hot summer day, the mallard duck with a Green head and big reddish body was doing a Jig in the water with his friends. While doing so, he saw the Clover plants on the bank and remembered an ancient looking book with the same symbol which he had seen in his grandpa's library. He remembered there was a good Luck Legend written that said if he would Brew a drink with water, a Pat of butter, a smashed Potato, the slimy seaweeds and a poisonous insect, he would receive a Blessing of the duck lord and would be able to surf on Rainbow. Even though he could fly higher than other breeds of duck family, he was adamant on flying even higher so he drank this recipe - and the rest is history.
