A fabulously formulated adventure in the life of Penguin, whose inimitable poetic style promises to entertain and instruct many a young reader. To say nothing of adults!
1. Penguin comes down from the mountains in order to watch the lady penguins swimming.
2. Penguin cowers on a boulder at the edge of a cliff and watches the penguin ladies as they swim.
3. The lady penguins frolic in the water. They play blind man´s buff and dunk each other´s heads under the water.
4. "It´s beautiful," says Penguin to himself, and he stretches out in order to see better.
5. Suddenly however Penguin loses his balance and falls among the lady penguins.
Dear children,
Now write and tell us what Penguin probably wanted to see. Did Penguin behave properly?
Yours,
Dr. Jenda Silhavy

Considering the fact that I receive an enormous number of letters from all over the world every day, please, dear children, be maximally brief and speak to the point. Maybe it would really be better if not all of you answered the questions but if, for example, only each second or third or tenth child answered.
Thank you very much for your understanding,
Yours,
Dr. Jenda Silhavy
