Singing School
It was the first day of school for many chicks in Emperor land. Everyone was excited to meet their new teacher.
As Mumble was walking to the classroom (more of a carved out crevice in a wall of ice) he still had many questions he was thinking about: Why is my name Mumble? Is it because I mumbled? And that girl Gloria's eyes are beautiful! Will she be in my class?
As soon as he reached the classroom his last question was answered as Gloria was in his class.
"Good-Morning class! My name is and I will be your teacher!"
"Good-Morning !" the class answered.
"Now today will be the most important lesson that I will ever teach you. Does anybody know why?" she asked.
Mumble's hand shot up into the cold air. "Mumble?" picked .
"Don't eat yellow snow?" he asked inoccently.
"No. Gloria?"
"It's our Heart-Song miss. Without it we can't be truly penguin." she said smartly, "And you certainly CANNOT teach it to us." She said sternly.
"Of-coarse not Gloria because if I do it's not your Heart-Song!"
Mumble heard what was going on but at the same time was lost in his own thoughts thinking about how he would be meeting his mother today and what she looked like.
"Now to discover your Heart-Song you must close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let it all in!" said passionately.
Immediatley everyone raised their flipper to be chosen as they thought they had the best heart song of all the class. The only one who didn't raise his flipper was Mumble. He couldn't feel the Heart-Song very well.
"Seymour why don't you go first?"
Seymour started his song with a bit of beat-boxing and then started rapping,
"Don't push me 'cause I'm on the edge-
I'm just tryin' not to lose my head."
"That's all I have!" he proudly announced.
As soon as turned around she saw that Gloria was practically panting to get picked.
"Umm… Gloria? Why don't you have a go?"
"M-m-midnight creeps so slow-ly
Into hearts of those who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a penguin who has laid to many-
Eh-he-eggs!"
"Oh yes that was wonderful Gloria!" she said in a praising tone.
Gloria could see that Mumble was shaking.
"Mumble? I-is everything alright?" she asked innocently.
"I don't have a Heart-Song he whispered. And I'm scared that she will pick me." He acknowledged.
An Idea popped into Gloria's mind.
Her flipper shot-up into the air once again, " I need to tell you something!"
"Oh?" she leaned closer.
"Mumbles throat really hurts and so he can't sing today. Can he sing tomorrow?"
"Well of-coarse he can! We can't let him lose his voice can we?"
At that moment all of the kids laughed at mumble.
"HA-HA VOICELESS VOICELESS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
15 Minutes Later
The class had ended and Mumble was standing with his dad ready to meet his mother.
"Pa? How will I know which one is my ma?
"Oh you'll know. She has a wiggle in her walk, a giggle in her talk. And when she sings, it darn near breaks your heart…"
Suddenly Noah the elder yelled "WIVES HOOAAAAAAH!"
At that moment Mumble burst from in between his dad's legs from excitement also yelling, "WIVES HOOOOOOOAH!"
"Mumble!" his dad yelled, but Mumble was nowhere to be seen.
