Synopsis

Duckling is curious when Mummy Duck lays a pale blue egg among the rushes. He wonders how a baby duck could fit inside and learns that all ducks, including himself, started in eggs. As the family gathers—Auntie, Cousin, and Grandpa—they eagerly await the hatching. After much anticipation, they hear a tap-tap-tap, a crack, and finally, a tiny beak emerges. The family joyfully welcomes the new arrival with a chorus of 'Quack-quack! Quack-quack-quack!'
