Story one: Why Can't Penguins Fly?
Young Nicatia, about 6 years old, held on to one of her feet as she rocked back and forth on the floor. "Hey, Skipper?'
Skipper, who was making his bed, looked over his shoulders at the child. "Yeah?"
"Why do penguins swim?" she asked.
He stopped what he was doing and turned to her. "It's just the way Mother Nature tells us to do."
"Oh," Nicatia replied, sitting up. Truth be told, she still had no idea why they swam or what 'Mother Nature' was. "Why can't penguins fly? You're a bird, right? Why can't you fly?"
Before Skipper could open his beak, Manfredy and Johnson came in.
"Hey, guys!" Johnson greeted.
"What's up?" Manfredy asked.
"Why can't penguins fly?" Nicatia repeated.
"Penguins aren't meant to fly," Skipper told the young lemur.
"Oh," Nicatia said again. She got up an walked over to Skipper. "I thought it was because penguins were too fat to fly," she told him, poking the short penguin in the belly. Nicatia giggled how squishy it was, so she poked him over and over again.
"Will you stop that?" Skipper snapped, slapping the little paw away gently.
"So it is because penguins are fat?" she asked (A/N: LOL! That rhymes!).
"Fat, huh?" Johnson said as he and Manfredy lifted her up.
"It's because we're too cool for the sky!" Manfredy told here.
Nicatia giggled. "Hey! Put me down!"
"Say, Johnson?"
"Yes, Manfredy?"
"Can lemurs fly?"
"I don't know. Why don't we find out?"
Together, the two penguins threw Nicatia onto Skipper's bed. Nicatia was laughing the entire time.
"Hey! I just made that!" Skipper yelled.
"Looks like lemurs can fly," Manfredy laughed.
