Dilly Duck's Happy Rhyme
A cheerful duck waddles through the meadow making rhymes with new friends, sharing the joy of words and friendship.

Dilly Duck loved words that sounded alike. She waddled along the brook and sang, 'Rhyme with me, happy and free!'

Beside the splashing water, Dilly spotted a mossy green log. She tilted her head. Who could be sitting there?

She saw a little frog sitting on a mossy log. 'Frog and log, they rhyme!' said Freddie the frog. Dilly chirped, 'Rhyme with me, happy and free!'

Freddie hopped onto the grass to join Dilly. Together, Dilly waddled and Freddie hopped along the sunny path toward a leafy grove.

Near a blooming apple tree, they heard a soft hum. Dilly smiled and cheered, 'Rhyme with me, happy and free!'

The fuzzy bee buzzed in circles by the tree. 'Bee and tree, they rhyme!' she sang, and landed softly near her friends.

Now three pals walked to the quiet pond. Out on the blue water, a little wooden boat bobbed by the reeds.

They found a goat in a wooden boat! 'Goat and boat, they rhyme!' laughed Gordy the goat. Dilly called, 'Rhyme with me, happy and free!'

Gordy rowed his boat to the grassy shore. Frog and log, bee and tree, goat and boat. What a lot of rhymes!

And so, all four friends danced in the golden sunset, singing together, 'Rhyme with me, happy and free!'
