*********Very cute story. Very amusing! If the duck and chick had names they would be capitalized but since it is only a duck and a chick they do not need capitals.
When they speak, you need " ". (quotation marks)
There are no English corrections except for the first sentence to explain the duck hatched out.....(of a shell).
Keep up the good work!
