Once upon a time there was a duck who suffered from narcolepsy.
What's that you say? You don't know what narcolepsy is?! Do you not know how to use a dictionary?
Go right on ahead. I'll wait.
Great! Now that you know that narcolepsy is a medical condition that causes the sufferer to fall asleep at just about any time, you will not be shocked at the beginning of my story.
Once upon a time there was a duck who suffered from narcolepsy.
What's that you say? You don't see how falling asleep all the time is a "medical condition?" Well, just imagine that nearly any time you sat down to relax, you may or may not just go to sleep. Imagine that you were headed out to take a lovely springtime walk and right outside your yard, in the middle of the road there was a duck taking a snooze. Iridescent green head tucked under wing, looking like a pillow on the asphalt.
Can you see how the might not work out so well for the bird?
Well. I can think of a few mishaps a duck like that might encounter after napping in the road. Like getting run over. By a car.
No, it didn't get run over. But it could've! Like, if the car was really quiet, and the driver wasn't watching for ducks.
Anyways.
The kids ran out and woke up the duck, and it flew away.
