The story
In a quiet billabong lives a young platypus named Polly. She has a bill like a duck, a tail like a beaver and feet made for paddling. When the ducklings tease her for looking funny, Polly wishes she could look like everyone else. "Your bill and your tail are perfect for you," says Grandma Platypus. "One day you'll see."
The next day, little Dot the duckling drops her shiny pebble to the bottom of the billabong. It's too deep and dark for the ducklings, but not for Polly. With her eyes closed, she sweeps her clever bill across the mud and feels her way to the treasure.
