I didn’t know which tale you were taking from until “Jack! No!”, and then it all fell into place – which it seems is what you were going for. Well done.

thanks! I was trying to see how much I could tell without giving it away and you totally picked up on that. Thanks for the comment.

I suppose that Mother Goose has a better ring to it than Mother duck.

Although if I told such tales would I be a mother ducker?

Great retelling of a favorite tale
