Let me tell you a story. It is a bit of a silly story, but let me assure you that it is completely true. Okay, maybe it isn’t completely true, but it is mostly true. Anyway, this story is about a friendly duck named Feathers and his quest to get more work for the Glass Repair Guild of Victoria.
Now, let us begin our tale. It started on a warm summer’s day in the beautiful city of Melbourne, when Feathers decided to go for a walk through the streets of South Yarra. It was on this walk that Feathers passed a convention centre, currently occupied by the Glass Repair Guild of Victoria. Feeling curious, Feathers decided to enter and find out what was going on with all the glaziers in Melbourne.
Inside, Feathers could immediately tell that something was very wrong. All of the glaziers seemed stressed, with many of them complaining to each other. “Gee, business has been really tough ever since the Glass Smashing Bandit disappeared,” said one of the glaziers. “There are no jobs for glass repair businesses close to Melbourne anymore! Everyone is too careful around their glass, and we have already installed glass balustrades for everybody who wants them!”
That didn’t sound very good to Feathers. Without glaziers installing new residential glass balustrades in the Melbourne area, how would the economy ever survive? Something had to be done, and Feathers knew just how to do it.
Feathers gathered all of his duck friends and went to the highest hill near Melbourne. There, the small army of ducks quacked as loudly as possible for as long as they could. Eventually, the quacks became so loud that all of the glass in Melbourne shattered: windows, glass balustrades, drinking glasses and anything else made of glass you could possibly think of.
With their work done, the ducks celebrated the fact that they had saved the city from certain economic collapse. Now the glaziers would have work, meaning that more money would go into the fragile human economy. Feathers had saved the day!
