Five little ducks went out one day

"Five Little Ducks" is a classic nursery rhyme about a mother duck whose five little ducklings go out to play. Each day, the mother duck calls them back with a "quack, quack, quack," but one fewer duck returns each time. Eventually, all the ducklings are missing, causing the mother great distress. In the end, the mother duck calls out louder, and all five little ducks come back, safe and sound, bringing relief and joy. The rhyme emphasizes themes of loss, reunion, and maternal love.
