... the penguin turned around of course you are my friend you helped me find who I am I used to think I was a duck but now I know I am a penguin This is the greatest thing anyone has ever done for me You see my mother died when I was born So I was an orphan I felt like I didnt fit anywhere in society I tried to be a fish But I couldnt stay underwater for so long So I tried to be a frog But I couldnt frollick or jump so high Eventually I gave up I became a recluse Until one day I saw a duckling and I could do everything he could do Except I couldnt understand a word he was saying He kept saying quack I dont know what that means So I was lonely again Like I have been my whole life Until I met you and I discovered upon your belly my identity that I am a penguin Thankyou my friend for helping me out so much I hope one day I can return the favour and help you with problems in your life The hippo sighed in content you have helped me little penguin I now have a friend Ive never had a creature who has offered me so much compassion nor have I ever had a creature appreciate me so much You have taught me about friendship how companions should relate That friendship isnt just about playing But also about communication That you must have both these elements to maintain friendship forever So thank YOU my friend penguin for teaching me so much and offering me the guidance that has now helped me to grow and become part of the society I guess we have helped one another Like what friends are all about Let us meet up regularly so that we can catch up again for now I must go and find a friend who I left at the dumster We were playing hide and seek but he was so slow at moving by the time I counted to one hundred He was only a metre away Turtle and me are going to talk and have a meaningful conversation similar to one which I just had with you My lovely penguin friend Maybe when I reconcile with turtle Than we can get together again all three of us Come by here tomorrow I so look forward to meeting you again And so the story of the hippo, the turtle and the penguin Who knew this was how the story was going to end Who knew these three different creatures could one day all become friends?
