BERLIN (Reuters) - German police made quacking noises to coax two trapped ducklings out of danger, after they fell through a manhole cover and got trapped in a sewage pipe.
Passers-by called the police and fire brigade when they saw the ducklings' distressed mother by the roadside.
Police officers opened the manhole but could not reach the ducklings. "Two officers decided to imitate duck noises," said a police spokesman in the city of Wiesbaden.
Their quacks proved more effective than those of the mother duck and guided the ducklings to safety.
:!: Silly Germans!
