I feel so old

When looking for a different document, I came across a story that I wrote 5 years ago. I find it very interesting . . . [sorry if there is typos]


Gerald the Ducky
By
Jessica Foster

Once upon a time there was a duck named Gerald. He would waddle down Main Street every day and pick up a jar of peaches for lunch. Gerald never ate the jar of peaches though he gave them to the Quack Land king. the king was a selfish and greedy duck. He picked on the less powerful ducks and made them give or do something for him every day. Gerald was picked to take a jar of peaches to the king for his lunch. Every day, 365 days a year and 366 days in a leap year Gerald took that jar of peaches 3 miles to the king. During those three miles he would always complain and grumble and grunt for he was tired of taking those peaches day after day after day.
One gloomy, cloud filled day after picking up the jar of peaches at the local store, Gerald decided it was time he took a stand against the king. He threw the jar of peaches at a rock and they broke into a million pieces.
When King Ducky of the Quack Lands asked for the jar of peaches, Gerald told the king that he didn’t have them and he would never have them again. The king was even more furious than before when Gerald said that he hated peaches. King ducky ordered for him to be put into the dungeon and fed jar after jar of peaches till he loved them.
Gerald thought that bring peaches to the king every day was better than this punishment. He saw a that he was in the tallest room of the tallest tower and that he had a window. After his first jar of peaches, he heard the fat, lazy king coming up the elevator that he was only allowed to used because he was so selfish and fat not to mention lazy that he couldn’t get up the stairs. When the king entered the room, Gerald ran to the window and broke with his knife. Then Gerald jumped out the window into a mote like pool of peaches. HE screamed when he found himself back in the same dungeon getting fed jars of peaches.
Gerald died unhappy, after 80 years of eating only jars of peaches, in the same dungeon and after trying to jump out the window 573 more times. He was buried by the rock which he broke the jar of peaches and with all the empty jars he had eaten out of, along with 700 new jars of peaches. The End
