There once was a emperor penguin, smaller than the rest. The penguins name was Pingu. This little penguin was shy, quiet, teased. But, he had a great imagination and was very smart, too. Pingu had dreams of great successes in his future life, he didn't have the confidence to tell anyone else, though. Pingu was always the "runt" in his group of one-thousand penguins, he deserved better! Then one day a great crisis fell across Pingu's group: the type of fish they eat was gone. All of the smarty-pants penguins were squawking the most ridiculous solutions like: "Let's just all die.", "We can eat seals" or "We can swim away. But, Pingu had a great idea. He needed to find the courage to say it otherwise they might all die. He found the courage. Pingu stepped onto the tallest block of snow and cleared his beaked. "Umm… I am Pingu." He said shyly.
"Speak up!" one of the taller penguins called out.
"Okay, so, well I thought that maybe we could send out a search party into the ocean in search of a new source of food…" The group of penguins broke into a huge tangle of argument, "Yes," "No." Finally they all agreed to do it. Pingu saved them. And then his group lived happily ever after and Pingu had achieved his lifelong dream.
What do you think the moral of the story is?
