The title of the story is 'A Female Duck and a Female Goose Returning to Their Families.' Once upon a time, there was a female duck and a female goose. They were best friends. They had been best friends. They said to lay eggs and brood them together. Later, when the eggs hatched, and when they had ducklings and goslings, they agreed to take their babies to their families. The mother duck and the mother goose said, "Let's go back together." They discussed it and agreed. They both laid eggs at the same time. The duck laid eggs wherever she stopped after playing in the water. She laid eggs everywhere she wanted. Her eggs were scattered. Meanwhile, the mother goose laid all her eggs in the same place. She made sure every one of her eggs stayed in the same place. Later, it was time for them to start brooding their eggs. The goose carefully brooded her eggs, keeping them all tucked under her wings. On the other hand, the duck didn't remember where she laid her eggs. She couldn't find them all. So she just wandered around. Later, the goose eggs hatched. Then the mother goose said, "My friend duck, my baby goslings are getting bigger now. As we have promised, let's go back to our families." When she said that, the duck replied, "My friend, my eggs didn't hatch. I don't remember where I laid my eggs. Let it be. Go visit your family alone this time. I will lay eggs and brood them carefully. I will visit you next time, when my eggs hatch." Then the goose didn't wait for the duck and visited her family with her babies. Soon, they came back. Later, the duck laid eggs again. But she always did the same thing as before. No matter how many years had passed, she didn't have ducklings. She couldn't show her babies to her family. Meanwhile, the goose always visited her family to show her goslings. She lived happily with her babies. But the duck had to live a lonely life.
