Little Molly and Luis


Little Molly, the baby duck, is close by the side of her friend, Luis, the seal pup. The two are the best of friends and he is hopelessly trapped in seaweed with his flippers pinned to his sides.This seaweed is more dangerous than most - sticky, gooey, clingy - the terra worst. Fortunately, for Luis, the green goo is so dense that it holds his head above water. Seal pups can only stay under water for about thirty minutes. 

Little Molly can’t free Luis and quickly realizes that his only hope will come from the power of their pleas. The only thing left to do is to join her own cries with his so someone might come to their aid. If she quacks loud enough and he barks loud enough, someone or many someones will help to free him from his snare. Little Molly and Luis make a noise that most will never hear, each getting stronger in the efforts of the other. The power to overcome hardship often comes from the strength of the many.

You might think that one little duck cannot save a seal pup on her own, but this is not the case. Actually, our brave Little Molly is not alone, but one of many, many voices crying out to be heard. When she calls out for help, another creature nearby will join her efforts to save her friend. All of us who live in the Land of Terra must sing to the top of the winds to help one another. Perhaps one single act will inspire two and then three and then four so that our Land of Terra will carry on as a most magical place to be.
