The royal garden lay hushed beneath the afternoon sun. Turtle ducks drifted on the pond, their ripples catching the gold light, while a boy and his closest companion sat in the shade of an old tree, tearing bread for the small, quacking crowd.

Before you could speak, he hurled the whole loaf straight at the head of a baby duck.
