What The Duck?!

(My class and I have gone to put local state park for multiple activities, the last one being paddle boating. This happens as two of my classmates are pulling out of the dock. The two students on the boat start screaming that they are running into a goose swimming by.)

Another Student: “Noooo, don’t hit the duck!”

(Just then, the ranger walks past after getting another two people into their paddle boat and says:)

Ranger: “Nah, you can hit it. I don’t care. There are too many of them anyway.”
