Every time he hunted ducks, the falcon lost his temper. These fat swindlers constantly deceived him: at the very last moment, when he was ready to sink his claws, they managed to dive under the water and remained there much longer than he could hold motionless in the air, waiting for their appearance.
That morning the falcon decided to try his luck again. Having made several hovering circles, the predator assessed the situation and accurately identified its next victim. Folding his wings, he rushed down, like a stone released from a sling. But right before his nose the duck managed to dive into the water.
- You're in trouble this time! - the angry falcon shouted and dived after her.
Seeing the predator under water, the duck deftly recoiled to the side and immediately darted up. Jumping out to the surface, she flapped her wings as if nothing had happened and flew away, but the heavy falcon could not get out of the water.
Flying over the unlucky hunter floundering in the water, the duck cheerfully shouted from above:
- Goodbye, godfather! I feel like I’m in water in your sky, but you’ll drown in my lake! You will be smarter in future.
