Little Duck is watching the sun go down. It is getting lower and lower, but his shadow is getting longer and longer.
“Why is that?” Little Duck asks his friend Old Tree. “You are older and smarter than me. Tell me - why is my shadow longer when the sun gets lower?”
Old Tree says, “That’s easy, Little Duck. The sun goes down every day, and we grow older every day. Your shadow grows longer because you are growing taller. You are becoming a big beautiful bird!”
