Thistle and Petey - Robert Wasilewski - Bog

"Thistle and Petey" is about a young rooster saving young ducks and one of the ducks (Petey) becoming attached to the rooster. The barnyard animals try to figure out how to get Petey to stop being Thistle's shadow. They suggest a disguise, doing things that Petey doesn't like doing, and other approaches that don't work. One proposed solution was even hiking to a haunted bridge at the fringe of the Great Dismal Swamp. In the end, Thistle finds that he is friends with Petey and that he should have talked to Petey in the first place.
