Scarlett's Penguin Story

The Emperor Penguin

"Oh no!" I am sitting on a big slab of ice floating. Why am I here, what just happened?
Sorry I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Bobby and I am a Emperor penguin. My habitat is Antarctica and I can only survive on ice. So why am I here? All I can remember is going to sleep last night as normal and this morning I am here. "HELP!' The sea is very rough right now and there is no sight of land. I can see a big chunk of wood floating past, I'll grab it. I will use this as a paddle then I will get to my unknown destination faster.
After a tough night and a few hours sleep I can finally see land. What shall I have for brekkie? I am super hungry as I nothing to eat yesterday. I don't want to risk losing  my iceberg if I dive down for a fish or two, I think I will wait until I get to shore. I really am getting much closer to land now I can't wait to lie down and relax.
I am waddling up what looks a beach. There is horrible grainy stuff crunching underneath my feet. Suddenly I realized where I was when a stranger came up and asked me "Are you okay? You look lost"
"Welcome To Wellington!"
