The small dabbling teal circles the beautiful mallards, the most common, familiar American duck. A very nice image and a great analogy! Thank you, Marietta.
This denotes many 'first school day' feelings: excitement tempered with wariness, individual/potential loner versus being one of the mallards and fitting in … terrific analogy.
