  1. We have one duck at home and her name is "Pip".
    She is fed on potatoes and cabbage and greasy water and sometimes butter-milk.
    There is a ring put on her leg for luck.
    The house is cleaned out every week and when it is cleaned out my mother sprinkles some holy water around the house.
