Canon Duck.

The duck was very lucky. He was lucky in regards to the fact that he had always known what he wanted to do with his life. Unlike most other ducks at this stage in life, he had a steady vision and was willing to do what it took to make it a reality. He was going to become a canon duck in the traveling circus. He had always dreamt about soaring through the air, the blast of the canon, and the thrill in finding the target. This was his calling. Unfortunately, he had no knowledge of what it actually took to become a canon duck. His skills were practically non-existent, and he could barely imagine the feeling of the force of the canon. Therefore, he made the choice, like any reasonable duck of his age and economic standing (upper middle class), to enroll in college as a canon duck major. For four years he devoted his studies to the craft, learning everything it would take to become a real life canon duck. After years of hard work and dedication, he graduated. He was ready to embark on his dream career. Unfortunately, after months of scouring the local circuses, and even circuses far away, he could not find any that were keen to training a new canon duck. Reluctantly, he decided to take a job as an accountant. He worked hard at this job for years, all while keeping his canon duck spark alive. “One day”, he thought, “I know I will be able to do it”.
