    There is a brown female Canadian duck that weighs only four hundred fifty grams. The duck had flown to the southern state of Florida for the winter. A hunter shot it on January fifteenth and took it to his home in the city of Tallahassee. He put it in the refrigerator. Two days later the man's wife opened the refrigerator door. The duck lifted its head and looked at her. It was alive!
    The family took the duck to a doctor who treats animals.The doctor gave the duck to the Goose Creek Animal Sanctuary(避难所). Animal sanctuaries provide homes for animals and teach people about their care.
    The doctor said it was easy to understand why people thought the duck was dead. He said ducks generally do not move a lot, especially after being shot. And he said its low body temperature helped it survive in the refrigerator.
    That was enough to make the duck famous around the world. The Tallahassee Democrat newspaper published the story that was reprinted in many different countries. But that was not the end of the story. Workers at the wildlife sanctuary named the duck Perky. And they arranged for the doctor to perform an operation to repair the duck's damaged wing. During the operation, Perky stopped breathing-not just once but twice. The doctor tried to save Perky by giving her oxygen through a face mask. But he finally said the duck had died. A few seconds later, however, Perky began to move. Reports say the people in the operating room were so happy that they cried.
    Workers at the wildlife sanctuary say Perky will not have any more operations. It seems she had a bad reaction to the drugs that were used. Perky is expected to live at the sanctuary.And a local company has begun to sell Tshirts showing a picture of the lucky duck. Money from the sale of the shirts will help pay for Perky's care.
