When trying to compensate for the loss of worms by digging in her home’s garden, Adeline is attacked by Jackie, the dog. Adeline tries to take special care of her duckling, finding and feeding it extra worms but is stopped by her jealous Second Brother. Named “Precious Little Treasure” (PLT for short), the duckling is especially cognizant for it’s age, recognizing Adeline and following her around. That did not matter though, as Adeline grew to love the duckling above all else. Adeline, naturally, was left with the scrawniest of the birds. The Huangs have brought with them the gift of baby ducklings, one for each of the children. Most of the visitors only knew of the existence of Niang’s two natural born children, since Niang did not want people to know she was a stepmother at her age. Huang-friends of Aunt Baba from Father’s first marriage-has the unique consequence of the recognition of all seven children within the household.
