How penguins learned.
This is the story of how penguins learned what they could and could not do.
Once a long time ago a group of penguin were walking past a cliff and one of them wondered "why do we walk instead of fly we have wings?" so he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Then he started thinking a little better of trying to fly. Then another penguin noticed him and got the other penguins to go over to the cliff. "One said what are you doing?" he said I wondered why we walk instead of fly and I was going to try and fly of the cliff." "O that's not a bad idea go a head try."
"Ok." "1… 2… 3… go" as the penguin waddled of the cliff he started flapping his flippers and he could not fly. O no what would the poor penguin do now would he fall to his doom would he some how survive! The answer is that the penguin with its limited vision did not notice a ledge of ice jutting out from the cliff face that was only 10 or 15 feet below. He landed in a soft snow bank on his stomach and he was facing the cliff and their was a little cave in front of him.
He could not get up so he tried to move on his belly. Slowly he started to slide faster and faster he came out at the other end and found out that that was the den of a sea lion but he had luckily missed the sea lion and was safe. He had come out on his feet and started around the cliff and soon he met up with the other penguins. One "OMG you actually flew!"
"I fell on a snow bank that was on a piece of ice sticking out of the cliff." But I found out we can slide down hills on our fast without hurting our selves " cool let's try that now" (all penguins in unison)"weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". "Wow this is really cool." "ahhhhhhhhhhhh snow bank." Penguin slides up snow bank into the air and went flying into the air. "ahhhhhhhhh help me." He landed in the water headfirst and shot down into the depths.
He started jerking and wiggling around in the water and found out hat he was gliding through the water and he didn't need to breath that badly so he enjoyed it and thought " hay maybe I can catch fish instead of eating the sea lions leftovers." "ahhhhhh ice berg I don't know how to stop." "help me I want to live!"
Crash "Ow that hurt" "wait a sec I need air!" he started swimming to the top and he shot out of the top and flew onto the ice. The group of penguins was at the edge of the ice looking into the water and when the penguin shot out of the water they all went over to him. "what happened." "it was awesome we can swim and get fish for our self." And we don't need to breath for a wile it's awesome!" next day penguins are sliding down a hill. They stop and get up.
The start walking to the edge of a cliff. (now every one knows that penguins are insanely clumsy so here is how the next part happens.) a penguin decided to go to the edge of the cliff to look out at the sea even though it could not see much. He tripped over a snow clump and fell off the cliff in a penguin free fall. Since he could not do anything to move or stop himself, he cried out for help and all the penguins went to the edge of the cliff and watched him fall. One after another they started falling and doing the same thing and in a matter of seconds the were all in the water swimming. This is how they learned to dive.
Now penguins had never seen a plane before and the first time they saw one it flew strait over their heads and as they leaned their heads back to keep it in view and they leaned to far back and the few thousand penguins were all on their backs wiggling around trying to get up. And this is how they learned to role onto tier stomachs. so this is how all penguins learned what they could and could not do.
(sorry if this was not very good but I will try to get better since this is my first story. Thank you for reading my story.)
