Once upon a time, there was a duck named Beck. Beck had a pet eel, named Mel. Beck and Mel lived in a little dell, near a babbling brook.
One bleak day, Beck felt a peck on his neck. "Oh, heck!" he yelled, as he fell into a well. Mel wriggled and jiggled, "Help, Beck!"
Mel took a trek to the deck of their shack. He rang the bell, hoping to tell someone about Beck. But alas! No one could quell his fears, nor help Beck.
In the well, Beck found a shell. "Maybe I can sell this shell and buy a ladder?" he thought. But Beck's dream was wrecked when he remembered he was stuck.
Just then, Mel dropped a rope, made of noodles! Beck was free! It wasn't a perfect day, but at least they had noodles for dinner.
