Later on the same day, the day of the shoes, I took them off put on a pair of slippers, made myself a cup of strong coffee and went outside and sat on my back step. I could hear a lot of quacking and looking down the garden path there was a duck waddling up the path. On first sight I thought it might be Old Blindy a blind duck friend of mine. Then the duck wandered onto the grass and pecked up a piece of bread.
Anyway, when this duck had eaten it's bread, it picked something up in it's beak and waddled nearer still quacking, but the quacking was muffled as it had something in its beak. The duck stopped by my feet then hopped up onto one of my feet just like Old Blindy.
Looking at the duck, it seemed familiar somehow, it was the same colour as Old Blindy the feet were the same, something had happened and I could not put my finger on it. While giving the duck the once over, he dropped a little box on to my foot. "What's this," I thought? I put on my glasses and picked up the little box. I could not believe my eyes.
Written on the box in tiny gold letters was ACME Duck Contact Lens. Then it dawned on me that this is Old Blindy but now he can see. As my old mate looked up at me I could just make out the little lens in his eye, and as I stared at Old Blindy a tear welled up in his eye. He quacked but it was a deep quack as, I think he had a lump in his throat, and carried on sitting on my foot.
What a wonderful difference these duck contact lens made Old Blindy could now see. Anyway after a while he waddled off, and from the nest in the tree I could hear loads of quacks. Then back Old Blindy came with a vee of little ducks waddling behind him.
So because of the ACME Duck Contact Lens, Old Blindy had found himself a mate and he had brought his children ducks to meet me. Well, I was overcome with emotion his whole life had changed for the better because of ACME Duck Contact Lens.
I said to Old Blindy, "I want to show you something now, and I went and got my new shoes. Lying them on the ground Old Blindy got in one shoe and the kids got in the other. It made my day complete, and all because of ACME.
