On a bright and cheerful morning, when the sun was shining warmly in the sky, the mother hen clucked softly to her three fluffy little chicks. She led them on a gentle walk, not too far from their cozy chicken coop, to search for some tasty bits of food to eat. They pecked at the ground, looking for yummy worms and tiny seeds, enjoying the fresh morning air together.

They walked and walked, taking small, happy steps, and soon they arrived at the very edge of a sparkling, blue pond! In the water, they saw some friendly ducks, gracefully swimming with their little ducklings, splashing and playing. There was also a very big, white goose floating calmly on the pond, looking very grand. It was a lovely, busy scene full of pond friends!

Seeing their feathery friends, the little ducklings quacked happily and shouted with glee, 'Chicks, chicks! Come here, let's all swim together in the cool water!' said one of the playful ducklings, splashing its tiny feet. Hearing the excited ducklings call to them, the three curious chicks, without thinking for even a moment, jumped bravely into the pond, one by one. Oh dear! The little chicks didn't know a very important secret: they couldn't swim at all!

The three little chicks immediately began to struggle in the water. Their tiny wings flapped very, very fast, and their little legs kicked hard, but the more they moved, the more they started to sink down, down into the water. Oh, they were almost drowning! Luckily, the big, kind goose, who was watching nearby, saw the chicks in trouble and swam quickly over to help them.

The brave goose used its large, strong beak to carefully lift each little chick, one by one, out of the water. It was so gentle and strong! Phew! Luckily, none of the fluffy chicks drowned that day. All the little chicks safely made it back to the soft, dry land, shaking their wet feathers and feeling very relieved and happy to be safe.

After they were all safe and dry, the mother hen clucked her thanks to the kind goose for its quick help. Then, she led her three little chicks away from the pond, making sure they were far from the water's edge. The chicks then found a warm, sunny spot and stretched out their wings, basking in the lovely warmth of the sun until their feathers were perfectly dry and fluffy again.

A whole week later, when the mother hen had gone out by herself to look for food, a wonderful thing happened! The three friendly ducklings waddled over to meet the chicks. The ducklings whispered something exciting to the chicks. The chicks listened carefully, and then they all smiled very wide and nodded their fluffy little heads, agreeing with the ducklings' fun idea!

Not long after their secret chat, the happy chicks began to follow the playful ducklings, waddling along a path towards the sparkling pond once more. All along the way, they sang joyful little songs and swayed their tiny bodies from side to side, feeling very excited and full of happiness about their upcoming adventure.

Upon reaching the pond, the three ducklings immediately jumped into the cool water with a splash! Then, being very clever, they quickly pushed a flat, sturdy wooden board right towards the chicks, who were standing eagerly by the shore. 'Come on, little chicks!' chirped one of the ducklings. 'Get on this board! You won't sink, we promise!' At first, the chicks felt a tiny bit scared and hesitated, but one by one, they bravely hopped onto the floating board.

Once all the fluffy chicks were safely balanced on the wooden board, the three playful ducklings started to push it gently. They pushed it all the way to the middle of the pond, making it float and glide. The chicks felt so excited and happy standing on their floating ride! The ducklings then pushed the board back and forth, making it sway gently from side to side. The chicks giggled and laughed happily as the board rocked. The chicks and ducklings played together for a very long time, sharing so much joy and fun, until they felt delightfully tired and ready for a rest.
