Once Upon a Time There Was a Very Untalented Duckling

Once upon a time there was a very untalented Duckling

Who lived in a family of very talented Ducklings

Whenever she tried a talent nobody would watch

Because she was sooo bad!

First the untalented duckling tried playing the piano like the pianist Ducklings played

Because she loved hearing the sound the beautiful piano keys made

-Have piano talents play

-After the last pianist, (girl) walks up to the piano, hits a few notes then drops her head on the keys giving up.

She sat down to play but her fingers fumbled the keys

She dropped her head in despair saying “oh help me please”.

Then the untalented Duckling thought dancing might be her place

She loved watching the dancing ducklings move with such grace

-Have dancers perform

-(girl) comes out and tries to twirl but stumbles over her feet and falls

But the untalented Duckling had two left feet that always seemed to get in the way

Of any graceful movement, day after day

She thought baking and cooking would be so much fun

So she attempted baking like her Duckling sister had done

-Show baking talents

-(girl) comes out smiling with a toaster oven or something but when she reaches inside she brings out burned cookies

But baking wasn't her thing either and she was left feeling sad.

The cookies were burnt and tasted so bad

-(girl) looks at the audience and in frustration says "Oh I'll NEVER have a talent"

Then she heardbeautifulmusic and wanted to sing

So she joined the choir thinking this would be her thing

- Have singers perform

-Have (girl) sing but have hersquawkand quack really load and obnoxious.

But aftersquawkingand quacking and being asked if she were sick

She slipped from the stage feelinghumiliatedquite quick

Then she got an idea that sports would be great!

It'd get her in shape and help her lose weight!

-Sports talent perform

-Have (another girl) kick (girl) the ball, (girl) tries to kick it back but misses and falls flat on her backside

But her coordination got in the way more and more

When she kept missing the ball, and never did score.

Discouraged and sad shewaddledto the park

Where she stumbled upon something that tugged at her heart.

She got out some paper some pencils and paint

And went to work creating with out a single restraint.

-(girl) begins painting the back drop

Yes, art was her thing in the end of it all

It made her feel happy, confident and tall.

Now if there’s just one thing you should take from all this

It’s to know you’re born with a talent you don't want to miss.

So never give up, keep going and going

Try everything once without ever slowing

When you discover your talent, then give all you can

Use the talents Heavenly Father gave you, and follow His plan.
