One day in 1974 a man caught a duck in a bug net. Then he saw a bunch of people with bug nets following him. They all ran after ducks in the park. The man asked them why they were copying him, and they said it was a good idea. That night they ate a duck feast. That is the origin. Now people catch all sorts of creatures in bug nets and built a monuments. To be continued… THE END.
