Little Duck wants to be a Plains Cree dancer, and decides to dress up like one and walks into the Cree camp. When he sees he does not fit in, the lonely duck returns to his pond and finds acceptance from the other ducks. He becomes content with who he is and his life as a duck.

The Little Duck is a universal story that transcends cultural boundaries and leaves one with a lesson about the importance of self-worth.
