Daisy the Duckling and the Garden of Many Flowers

Daisy the duckling shares her berries, laughs at unfunny jokes and agrees with everyone, yet Gruff the goat still calls her too bubbly, so she tries harder.

Not Everyone Like You

In a bright meadow called Buttercup Bend, there lived a young duckling named Daisy. Daisy was kind, cheerful, and eager to please. She had one big wish: she wanted every single animal in the meadow to like her.

"If I'm nice enough," she would say, "everyone will love me."

So Daisy shared her berries with everyone, even when her own tummy was rumbling. She laughed at every joke, even the ones that weren't funny. She said yes to every request, and she changed her opinions to match whoever she was talking to.

Most of the animals liked Daisy just fine. But there was one who didn't: Gruff the goat.

"Hmph," Gruff would say whenever Daisy waved hello. "Too bubbly for me."

Daisy couldn't understand it. "I brought him the sweetest clover," she told herself. "I smiled at him every morning. What am I doing wrong?"
