Duck is a hardworking fowl lives on a farm owned by a very lazy man. All day long the farmer lies about in bed, eating chocolates, reading the newspaper, and occasionally yelling out the window to Duck in order to ask How goes the work? Meanwhile, poor Duck spends his days caring for the other animals, doing the laundry, and even serving meals to his good-for-nothing master. The other animals notice not only how tired duck is, but also how very lazy the farmer is, and so they decide to do something drastic. Will the hens, the cow, and the sheep be able to come to Duck's aid--and teach the farmer a lesson he'll never forget? Illustrated with watercolor paintings.
