Happy Feet- The novel
Fated love:
It was a warm morning in Emperor land. It was also hatching time!
One by one the eggs cracked opened little chicks came out searching for their dad. All the eggs hatched-all but one.
Memphis- the father of the egg, sighed and said, "I can't believe it. After all this hard work, what will I tell Norma jean? 'Hey Norma jean! Our son is dead!'…"
At that moment, Maurice, one of Memphis' friends came and attempted to comfort him, "It's okay Memphis it happens. Don't blame yourself for it."
"…"
Suddenly they heard a quiet little tapping coming from inside the egg.
"I think there's someone in there!" giggled Gloria, the daughter of Maurice.
"Oh I can hear you buddy I can hear you!" Memphis shouted excitedly
The tapping continued for a few more seconds before it died out completely. Gloria was curious as to what had happened to the tapping and so pecked it two times.
The chick listened to the pecking but as soon as he heard the second peck he was surprised to see another chick fall onto him and even more surprised to find that their beaks had interlocked.
Memphis and Maurice were speechless-all they could do is stare.
The chick inside the egg said, "Please get off, I really want to come out!"
But since their beaks were interlocked it came out more like a mumble sounding like, Eze et of, I elly "
wand ooo hum out!"
Gloria blushed and quickly got off saying, "Oh sorry I didn't mean to crack your egg open."
"Mumble? Is that my name?" questioned the chick.
"Gloria!" hissed Maurice.
"Oh it's ok Maurice; she saved him and she can call him anything she likes!" Memphis stated.
Maurice was shocked, "No, Memphis I just can't let her do that."
"Oh it's okay Maurice, right Mumble?"
