Rau loved to watch the wildflowers on the bank.

He was always happy, but today he had a frown.

With a sigh, Rau decided to swim downstream.

Rau found a quiet spot and decided to rest there.

He gazed at the sky, the clouds reflecting on the water's surface.

Rau's friend, a duckling, noticed his frown and swam over.

Are you okay, Rau?" the duckling asked, concerned.

Rau looked at his friend and managed a small smile.

I'm just a little down today," Rau admitted.

The duckling nodded, understanding, and they spent the rest of the day together.

By the time the sun was about to set, Rau's frown had turned into a smile.

Rau thanked his friend for spending the day with him.

The duckling just smiled and promised to come back tomorrow.

As Rau watched his friend fly away, he realized he wasn't sad anymore.

Even though he was alone again, Rau knew he would see his friend again soon.
