Flubber Ducky is a fun loving little guy. One of his favorite things is water. That probably makes sense because ducks of course live in and near water. Flubber likes to try anything you can possibly do with water. He swims, fishes for food, and just floats around having a great time relaxing in the water. Flubber Ducky would think that he had the greatest life on Earth, if only he could do one thing...FLY!
Flubber would sit on his beautiful lake and watch the ducks fly over the city he lived near and dream of one day flying. You see some ducks just can't fly, they can only walk and swim. Flubber was one of those. Flubber was also no different than the rest of us. He always wanted to do anything he couldn't do!
Quacker was a duck who just wandered up to the lake one day and liked it so much he decided to stay. Quacker had been a hobo who just moved around all over the place. He had never had a real home before but when he saw the beautiful lake and met all the nice ducks who lived there, he decided this was home.
One of the first ducks Quacker met was Flubber. Flubber was so nice and friendly that he became Quacker's best friend immediately. Quacker knew he had a Buddy for the rest of his life. When he saw Flubber with an umbrella on a rainy day he thought he may have a lot of work to do with Flubber. Most ducks don't mind rain, after all they are in the water all the time!
Now, being a can do kind of guy, Quacker wanted to help his new friend with any problem he may have. As we know Flubber wanted to fly so Quaker set out to help. There was just one big problem, Quacker couldn't fly either. Quacker was good at almost everything. He could fish up the best dinner you ever ate. He was also great at most sports.
Quacker was a great golfer and could play with the best of them. He had been out on his own all his life and had learned to do many things other ducks had never thought of. He was pretty good at most everything he tried but like anyone else there were a few things that weren't his best.
Though he could play a pretty good game of hockey, sometimes he would lose his footing. Those ice skates can be hard to stand up on sometimes. One thing about Quacker, he would try almost anything at least once. He though about how he could at least give Flubber the feeling of flying.
Quacker thought surfing would certainly give Flubber the feeling of flying. Just one problem, it also almost scared him to death! Flubber decided maybe he didn't need to fly after all! Quacker and Flubber would just have to put their heads together and think of something a little less scary.
Quacker got on his computer and sent and e-mail to one of his best friends, Toadly the frog. He had known Toadly for years. Toadly was another hobo who just moved from place to place. He had met Quacker one day when they both stopped by a nice lake to see if they could catch some dinner. There weren't any fish that night but Quacker found some carrots and shared them with Toadly. They were friends from that day on.
Toadly was quite an impressive dude. He had a big red motorcycle and was the leader of a motorcycle club. When Toadly came riding in, everyone noticed. He was also a nice guy and had a large number of friends. Toadly was always willing to help out a friend and that is why he was here, to help Quacker and his new friend Flubber.
Toadly had asked members of his club to come and meet Flubber. He wanted to give Flubber an idea of how nice the club was and see if he would like to join. The first to show up was Walter the eagle and Herman the monkey. They were pleased to see that a lot of other animals had turned out to see the motorcycle club.
It was becoming quiet a fair atmosphere. Ducks were carrying balloons and everyone was having a good time. Then in rode Cool Cat a club favorite he was a friend to everyone and a great cycle rider. Flubber could learn a lot from Cool Cat. Cool Cat was the kind of fellow who was always ready to help anyone who needed it and Flubber sure needed help learning to ride!
Another monkey friend club member Eddy rode in. Eddy was a business monkey during the week. Eddy worked for the circus and did tricks on his cycle for the boys and girls who came to the circus. Eddy was one of the children's favorite circus attractions. He did a lot of great tricks. One of Flubber's life long friends was not to sure about this motorcycle riding.
His name was Doc. Doc probably got his name because he worried about all the duck families that lived in his lake. He told Flubber he should stop and think about this motorcycle club. It wasn't that Doc didn't like all the members, he did. He was just afraid for Flubber's safety. Doc knew Flubber didn't learn sports and things very easy and he didn't want to see his friend get hurt. After Doc pointed this out, even Quacker agreed, he didn't want Flubber hurt either!
Buster Bear was the last one to arrive but he sure put on a show doing wheelies and had the crowd very excited! A large crowd had gathered and all the people and animals were enjoying the cycle show. Quacker decided to join in and do some trips on his motorcycle. He hoped it would help Flubber to make a decision on what he wanted to do.
Quacker showed off some of his best wheelies, waving his hat at the crowd. He was a favorite right away! After watching all the fancy tricks that the club members did, Flubber thought maybe he should think about what he wanted to do a little while longer. Maybe not flying wasn't the worst thing in the world. After all Flubber was a pretty happy guy. He had lots of great friends and he could just swim and think about it. So that's just what he did!
WE ALL WANT THINGS SOMETIMES WE DON'T HAVE BUT IN THE END WE MAY FIND OUT WE DIDN'T REALLY NEED THEM ANYWAY!
