On Wednesday I counted sixteen ducklings on the pond. Today I counted only ten. That's heavy losses in two days, although I think that only a couple usually survive to grow into adulthood.
Who could imagine the tragic loss a mother duck must feel as she watches the size of her brood decline day by day. What a life of infinite sadness. Nature is indeed cruel.
Today the ducks are making me feel sad.
