The Day the Ducks Went to the Beach

Officer Miller had seen plenty of strange things in his twenty years on the force—runaway goats, a llama parade gone wrong, even a man who tried to drive his lawnmower through the bank drive-thru. But nothing quite compared to the sight he stumbled upon one sunny morning: a rusty old pickup truck overflowing with ducks. Not one or two—dozens of them, quacking, waddling, and flapping around like they owned the road.

He pulled the driver over, a cheerful old man in a weathered hat and suspenders. “Sir,” the officer said, struggling to sound serious, “you can’t have a flock of ducks running around downtown. Take them to the zoo—immediately.” The old man nodded earnestly. “Sure thing, Officer! The zoo it is!” With a friendly wave, he drove off, leaving behind a trail of feathers and laughter from nearby pedestrians.

The next day, Officer Miller nearly dropped his coffee when he spotted the same truck rolling down Main Street—again packed with ducks. Only this time, every single duck was wearing a tiny pair of sunglasses. The officer’s jaw dropped. He hit the siren, pulled the man over again, and stormed up to the window. “I thought I told you to take these ducks to the zoo!” he barked.

The old man grinned, completely unfazed. “Oh, I did, Officer! They loved it!” he said proudly. “Today, I’m taking them to the beach!”

And as the truck rumbled away, a line of ducks in shades bobbing to the rhythm of the road, Officer Miller couldn’t help but laugh. Some days on the job, he thought, were just too quacking good to be true.
