Once there was a boy,  who found a penguin at his door .

The boy didn’t know where it had come from , but it began to follow him everywhere .

The penguin looked sad and the boy thought it must be lost .

So the boy decided to help the penguin find its way home .

He checked in  the Lost and Found Office . But no one was missing a penguin .

He asked some  birds  if  they knew , where the penguin came from . But they ignored him .Some birds are like that .

The boy asked his duck ,But the duck floated away . He didn’t know either .

That night the boy couldn’t sleep for disappointment .He wanted  to help the penguin but he wasn’t sure how .

The next morning he discovered the penguin come from the South Pole . But how could he get there

?

He ran down to the harbor and asked a big ship to take them to the South Pole . But his voice

was much too small to be heard over the ship’s horn .

Together the boy  decided , he and the penguin would row to the South Pole .

So the boy took his rowboat out and tested it for size and strength .

He told stories to the penguin to help pass the time .

Then they packed everything they would need ……and pushed the rowboat out to sea .

They rowed south  for many days and many nights .There was lots of time for stories ,and the penguin listened to every one so the boy would always tell another .

They floated through good weather and bad, when the waves were as big as mountains.

Until , finally , they came to the South Pole.

The boy was delighted , but the penguin said nothing . Suddenly the penguin looked sad again

as the boy helped it out of the boat .

Then the boy said bye-bye and floated away . When he looked back , the penguin was still

there . But it looked sadder than ever . It felt strange for the boy to be on his own .

There was no point telling stories now ,because there was no one to listen , except the wind and

the waves . Instead , he just thought . And the more he thought …… the more he

realized he had made a big mistake .

The penguin hadn’t been lost . It had just been lonely .

Quickly he turned the boat around and rowed back to the South Pole as fast as he could .

At last he reached the South Pole again …. , But where was the penguin ?

The boy searched and searched , but he was nowhere to be found . Sadly , the boy set off for

home . But then the boy saw something in the water ahead of him . Closer and closer he got until he could see …… the penguin .

And so the boy and his friend went home together , talking of wonderful things all the day .

失物招领处

从前有个男孩，他在门口发现一只企鹅。男孩不知道它是从哪里来的，但它开始跟随他到任何地方。企鹅看起来很伤心，男孩认为它一定是迷路了。于是男孩决定帮助企鹅找到回家的路。他把企鹅领到了失物招领处。但没人丢失企鹅。他问鸟儿是否知道企鹅是从哪里来的，但他们傲慢的无视他，有些鸟就是这样。男孩问他的鸭子，但是鸭子没有声息的漂走了。那天晚上，男孩因失望而无法入睡。他想帮助企鹅但他不知道怎么帮。第二天早上，他发现企鹅来自南极。但他怎么回去呢？他跑到港口，请一艘大船把他们带到南极。但是他的声音太小了，不能被船上的人听到。男孩决定和企鹅一起划向南极。于是，男孩把他的划艇拿出来做了一番检查，然后他们把所有他们需要的东西都打包了，然后把小船推到海里，他想用给企鹅讲故事来打发时间。

他们向南划了好多天，好多夜。他们有很多时间讲故事，企鹅听了每个故事，男孩总是会告诉另一个。当海浪像山一样大的时候，他们在好天气和坏天气中漂来漂去。直到最后，他们来到了南极。男孩很高兴，但企鹅什么也没说。当男孩把企鹅从船上放到岸上时，企鹅突然又显得很伤心。然后，男孩说再见，漂走了。当他回头一看，企鹅还在那里。但它看起来比以前更伤心。那男孩独自一人感到很奇怪。现在讲故事已经没有意义了，因为除了风和浪，没有人听。他只是想。他越想越意识到自己犯了个大错误。企鹅并没有丢失。它只是一直很孤独。他很快地把船调头，尽快划回南极。他终于又回到了南极。但企鹅在哪里？那个男孩找了又找，但找不到他。不幸的是，男孩动身回家了。但那男孩在他前面的水里看到了什么。他越走越近直到他能看到企鹅。

于是，男孩和他的朋友一起回家了，整天谈论着美妙的事情。
