Lillee is a bit of a rebel-- she doesn't have any desire to learn to swim or fly like her siblings, but wishes to go about things her own way. Wandering about while her brothers and sister are learning to swim, she encounters Mr. Furry-legs who shows her where some tasty nasturtium leaves are because she needs to get plumper. Day after day she wanders in the forest and meets this same friendly creature who shows her where something yummy to munch on is. One day Lillee realizes this is the very same bad guy her mother warned her about and suddenly understands staying with her family, learning to swim and fly isn't such a bad idea after all. ( )

Lillee, the smallest duck in the family, takes off marching into the woods because she doesn't want to learn how to swim. With half her shell on her head, she doesn't realize the danger she faces in the woods until she sees the actual face of Mr. Fox.
