A child wishes that they were a duck and mentions some of the advantages it would bring. But, the child soon realizes that many disadvantages can go along with it and is ultimately glad that they are not a duck. This is followed by wishes to be a monkey, elephant, bird, dog, hippo, cat, fish, cow, and frog, all with the same outcome.
