The Three Little Ducks

Once upon a time there were 3 little ducks, waddling along a river bank and as they waddled along they each made a quack.
"Quack", went the first duck.
"Quack", went the second duck.
"Quack", went the third duck.
But then a hungry fox who was passing by snatched them up one by one and put them in his sack.
And as he was carrying them back home to make into duck soup he heard the three ducks quack.
"Quack", went the first duck.
"Quack", went the second duck.
"Quack", went the third duck.
But then suddenly, something very odd happened for one of the ducks in the sack stopped quacking.
"Quack", went the first duck.
"Quack", went the second duck.
But there was no third quack from the third duck.
"Why only two quacks?", thought the fox, "If there are three ducks in the sack there should be three quacks but I only hear two. Perhaps theres a hole in the sack and one of the ducks has escaped".
But then the fox, looking at the outside of the sack couldn't see a hole and so he told himself not to worry and continued walking, all the while listening to the two ducks quacking.
But then, not long after that, another strange thing happened for one of the two ducks who had been quacking stopped quacking.
"Quack", went the first duck.
But there was no quack from the second duck.
"Thats strange", said the fox, "Now theres only one quack as if there was only one duck in the sack".
And the fox started to worry again.
"What if two of the ducks have escaped now?", he thought.
And as he was worrying, suddenly, thats when the third duck stopped quacking.
The fox put the sack to his ear but he couldn't hear anything.
"Now they've all stopped quacking", he thought, panicking, "As if there were no ducks in the sack".
Eventually the fox could take it no more; he had to open the sack, he thought and take a look inside just to make sure all the ducks were still there.
The moment he did however, all three of the ducks came leaping out and as they did each duck snapped upon the foxes long nose with its bill.
"Snap" went the first duck
"Snap" went the second duck.
"Snap" went the third duck.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!", went the fox, rubbing his long nose.
The clever ducks had tricked the fox you see and, as soon as they were out of the sack, they all ran home to their mother as fast as they could.
