Look, that’s how it is in the world now! (paragraph)
“Look, that is how it goes in the world now!“ said the mother of the ducklings, and she was sticking out her beak, because she also wanted the eel head. “
“Use your legs!” she continued.
Keep your decency and bow to the old duck...
Wait a minute!
Don’t put your legs inward like that!
A well-mannered duckling puts its feet outwards, just like its mother and father do.
Look! Like this!
Bend your neck and say: Quack!

Keep your decency and bow to the old duck you see there: that is the most important of all; she is of Spanish descent, which is why she is so fat.
and, see, she has a red patch on her leg; that is something very beautiful and the greatest honour that a duck can receive; it means that they do not want to lose her and that she must be recognized by animals and people.
