I remember Márton character at the famous work of Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf, and also TV cartoon series, The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, in original, Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige, 1906.

Well, this is not Márton!... This is just a funny white duck at the half frozen pond at snowy Bolu Mountains near a motel. It lives with duck family. They can't fly away like Márton and geese because they are too heavy to fly. However they are well fed and protected... The same dilemma as Selma Lagerlöf described.
