Perry the penguin has a very special reason for wanting to get warm. Can he find
a way to take the chill off his frosty feathers?

A little penguin called Perry. He lived with his family at the South Pole so it was always very cold. One day, Perry discovered a box floating on the sea. He opened it and found something delicious in the box but he didn’t eat it because he was too cold to eat then. Perry went his grandpa to ask, ”what do I have to get warm, Grandpa?” And Grandpa told him, “try skating! That will warm you up.” Perry said OK. So, he went to the frozen lake. He was skating during all morning. When he finished, his grandpa asked him, “are you warm, now?” But Perry said no.

Next, he said he needed to get warm to his grandma. She came up with trying swimming. He dived into the water and swam all afternoon. After that, grandma said, “Are you warm, now?” But Perry answered no.

And then, he went his sister, Pippi and repeated the same sentence, “I need to get warm.” She recommended sliding down the hill to him. Perry went to the top of the hill. In all evening, he slid around. How tough he is!! He had moving for all day!!

Finishing sliding, everyone asked him he was warm and he said he was boiling. Finally he opened the box. Do you think what were there in the box? That was ice cream! Perry said, “Now I can enjoy this ice cream.” Yes, everything what he did was only for eating ice cream with enjoyment!!
