The Couple: Love at First Sight
The penguins are going out to dinner because they are hungry but first will go for a quick swim as it is hot and they can get something to eat such as fish in the water.
The weather is overcast so they may decide not to swim. By the time they get to the bridge, the bridge was closed.
The penguins are quiet as they are looking away from each other, they are lost in their thoughts. Its a long way from the cliff down to the water, so they will not get there. Now they are getting into a spat because they are getting tired since they can only waddle along.
They are waddling alone, happy to hear the sounds of hundreds of other birds, seagulls, gurgling over the rolling waves. There is the scent of a chicken coop mixed with the salty water. This couple is still holding hands.
They met 40 years ago on this same beach. They were in a large group of hundreds of penguins and saw each other across the crowded sand. It was love at first sight back then. They have had a long and happy marriage. But now on this special anniversary, they are having trouble finding a restaurant.
So, they decided to go back and stop at the grocery store, pick up some goodies and have a romantic evening at home.
They lived happily ever after.
The End.
