A Day in Rivers and Streams

Boom! Boom! “I hate those pesky hunters!” said Streptococcus iniae. You can call him Mr. Strep. “They are almost as bad as the fisherman!” exclaimed Mrs. Duck, “Whenever they fish, their hooks get close, and almost always hook onto my nest!” “One of these days I am going to make them pay! After all I am a disease!” cried Mr. Strep. “Now I must go tend to my ducklings, they might be in danger” and with that, Mrs. Duck swam off to go tend her ducklings.

“I’m going to catch you!” yelled Mr. Dipper “No! Spare us! Spare us!” said the insects from down the river. “NEVER! I’m way to hungry to waste you perfectly good insects! And with that he opened his mouth wide and snatched them down! “You at least should have spared one of the insects,” said Mrs. Duck, “oh and by the way, has anyone seen Bryopsis hypnoides?” “My name is Bryopsis.” Exclaimed Bryopsis “now I may live in the underwater but I can still hear you people yammering all day!” “We are sorry to wake you but you promised to watch my ducklings.” Said Mrs. Duck. “Oh alright, alright. Where are they?” “In the reeds, now I must go.” Said Mrs. Duck.



“All ducklings present?” “Yes mother” recited the ducklings. Now get into your beds and go to sleep. Goodnight everybody we are going in for the night.” “Goodnight Mrs. Duck” And with their final goodbyes they all went to sleep. There went another day of life in the river.
