The Courageous Story of a Rare Blue and Red Penguin

By: Katie Leigh Tessmer

I am going to tell you a story, but not just any story for this is a story about my life. For i fear i wont live that much longer and people should know what i a Penguin should have never had endured in their entire life. So Here i go and please listen as i start from the beginning. I had risen out of my egg, staring out into the big blue sky. I felt alive, strong and ready to face any challenge in my way. But as i come rushing out of my egg every other penguin is laughing at me. Making me wonder if they wanted to make me cry. Even Mama laughed for i then realized that i was an odd bald. Every one else was black and white but i was blue and red. Then as weeks went by the other Penguins not only laughed at me but also bullied and thought i was a freak for being so smart too. So one night i had packed a dozen fish in a bag for the road. But then the next day, would be the day that would change my life forever. I woke up not in the Antarctic but in a cage with a weird pain in my butt.

I figured out that i was in a cage with many different kinds of animals screaming for their lives and scared. Then i hear men arguing and suddenly picking up all the cages and putting us in a helicopter. I could tell that they were not nice men for i suspected that they were traveling to America to sell us for money. But they especially loved me for they kept laughing saying they they were going to become millionaires because of how rare of a Penguin i am. We then landed near an airport and were disguised as they carried in the cages trying not to get anyone to notice what they were up top. But they never knew what i was capable of nor how uncommonly smart i am for what a Regular Penguin should be. As soon as they put down the cage i unlock the cage and start dashing as i hear people screaming and the men chasing after me. I somehow sneak out of the air port and sneak into someone car as they are now driving. But then out of know where the driver had a heart attack and died, then started driving the car until it suddenly stopped along with all the other vehicles. I then had a big problem for the men were still chasing after me and i then knew i could not run away from them with the car.
