Example of text:-
`Flora McQuack bustled along the water's edge. There, in the tall grass beside the loch, sat the McPeck sisters.
"Hello lassies!" Flora cried.
"Ssssss" they hissed. "Get away from our nests.
Everyone knows you're a bad luck duck!"
"Meanies! I wouldn't hurt a tadpole," Flora hissed back.......'
Nevertheless, the comment upsets Flora who hasn't ever laid her own egg, but she adopts a rather large one she finds by the loch and is determined to hatch it........never mind the time! When it does hatch, something quite different `pops' out!
"Mama!" cried the little creature, stumbling towards Flora.
"Och," exclaimed Flora, "you are a strange wee thing, but I love you!"..........'
I wonder if you can guess what it is?
