Little Penguin

Bathed in a black coat and white shirt, Tim lay asleep in the nest.  A cold breeze wafted over Tim and caused him to stir. He finally woke up from the cold.  Where were his parents to keep him warm?  He looked around and all that he could see was snow and ice.  What happened to the flock?  Tim rolled onto his feet and looked around.  The snow showed signs of the flock rushing off in one direction.  There were signs of other animals in the tracks.

Tim wondered, “Why did they leave him?”

He had to find out what happened.  He started down the path that the flock had taken.  He waddled back and forth as fast as he could.
