Chapter 8

A

1.The guns were all pointing right up at the nest.

2.'No! No! No!' called out Mr and Mrs Gregg, both together.

3.'Don't shoot! Please don't shoot!''Why not?' said one of the ducks.

4.It was the one who wasn't holding a gun. 'You are always shooting at us!

5.’Oh, but that’s not the same!’ said Mr Gregg. ‘We are allowed to shoot ducks!’

B

1.'Who allows you?' asked the duck.'We allow each other,' said Mr Gregg.

2.Very nice,' said the duck. 'And now we are going to allow each other to shoot you.'

3.(I would have loved to have seen Mr Gregg's face just then.)

4.'Oh, please!' cried Mrs Gregg.

5.'My two little children are up here with us! You wouldn't shoot my children!'

C

1.'Yesterday you shot my children,' said the duck.

2.'You shot all six of my children.'

3.'I'll never do it again!' cried Mr Gregg. 'Never, never, never!'

4.'Do you really mean that?' asked the duck.

5.'I do mean it!' said Mr Gregg. 'I'll never shoot another duck as long as I live!'

D

1.'That is not good enough,' said the duck. 'What about deer?'

2.'I'll do anything you say if you will only put down those guns!'cried Mr Gregg.

3.'I'll never shoot another duck or another deer or anything else again!'

4.'Will you give me your word on that?' said the duck.

5.'I will! I will!' said Mr Gregg.

E

1.'Will you throw away your guns?' asked the duck.

2.'I will break them into tiny bits!' said Mr Gregg.

3.'And never again need you be afraid of me or my family.'

4.'Very well,' said the duck. 'You may now come down.

5.'And by the way, may I congratulate you on the nest.

6.For a first effort it's pretty good.'

3. And after that the Magic Finger is upon him or her, and things begin to happen . . .
