The Slowest Crossing
1 min illustrated story · A little help remembering 田
The path beside the rice field was only wide enough for Alex and Lin to walk together. Water shone between the young plants. Away from the road, they could hear their shoes on the dry earth.
A white duck stepped onto the path ahead of them. Alex stopped, and Lin stopped beside him. The duck looked toward the ditch on the other side, then took one slow step. Neither of them moved forward.
“We could go around,” Alex whispered.
Lin looked at the wet field on their left and the narrow ditch on their right.
“Or we could wait.”
The duck paused to examine something near its foot. Alex shifted his tote to his other shoulder.
At last, the duck stepped down beside the ditch, leaving the path clear. They walked on without disturbing it.
A few minutes later, Lin glanced back.
“Still there?”
“Busy,” Alex said.
They kept their slower pace for the rest of the walk.
One way to use 田.
田 means a field used for farming. 稻田 means rice field or rice paddy. The story describes a fictional country walk, not a rule about farming or ducks.
