I'm not sure as you haven't provided the actual story. But usually, there could be a local who has a special connection to the pond, like an old fisherman.
The main theme could be about self - discovery. In the story, the pond might symbolize a place of reflection where the character discovers something about themselves.
Since I haven't read the story, I can only guess. Obviously, there is the koi. There might also be other fish in the pond, or perhaps animals that come to the pond like birds or frogs.
I'm not sure as I haven't read the specific 'a koi in the pond short story'. But generally, it might be about the koi's life in the pond, perhaps its daily activities, interactions with other pond creatures, or the beauty it adds to the pond environment.
The moral could be about not being wasteful. In the story, the person didn't realize the value of the milk in the pond and let it all go to waste. It teaches us to recognize the value of what we have.
Since I haven't read the story 'Lilies on Daybreak Pond', it's hard to say for sure. But given the title, it could potentially have themes related to nature, such as the beauty and tranquility of lilies in a pond at daybreak. It might also explore themes of new beginnings or the serenity of the early morning.
It's possible that there is a group of people rather than just one main character. For example, a community living near the pond full of milk. Each member of the community might have different reactions and ideas about the pond, and their interactions could drive the story forward.
Sadly, I don't know of a short story titled 'Lilies on Daybreak Pond'. There are countless short stories out there. You could start by looking at collections of short stories by various authors. Maybe it's a self - published or a very niche work. Try reaching out to small - press publishers as well, they might be aware of it.
A more detailed 'Black duck in white pond story' could be that the black duck was lost and ended up in the white pond. At first, the other ducks were a bit wary of it because it looked different. But over time, the black duck showed its friendly nature and they all became friends. It could also be about how the black duck brought a new perspective to the pond community, like teaching them new ways to find food or avoid predators.
I'm not sure specifically which 'king of the pond story' you mean. It could be a fable about a dominant animal in a pond ecosystem, perhaps a big fish that rules over the smaller ones. Or it might be a story about a character who claims to be the king in the context of a pond - like a frog who thinks he's in charge.
