Talking to a duck

This duck came to seeking donations. She was alone, seemingly friendless. My little princess immediately befriends her and begins discussing the ducks needs and choices.
She asked her about her eggs and where her ducklings dad was. She told the duck the dad needed to watch the babies and that there was a nice pond down there where this mother duck could teach her babies to swim. She asked about her food sources and told her we didn't have anything.
The duck came very close hoping all of this talk would end in a handout, but despaired when Ellie finished, turning and waddling away. Ellie said, "she just waddles that's all!"
