out upon the ocean. He struIteu
around q moment or two and then

himself. There were plenty of other.
penguins around whom he could have
asked for advice but he didn't want
anyone's advice. He wanted To decide
the question himself. The only thing
was that he didn't quite know how to

other pengains were watching. Mr..
Johnny wished be could talk to her
alone. He wished he could tell her

found himself quite shy with so many
around.
''What IN the world. or on the ie-
land, or In the ocean. or under the
stars or the moon or the sun win do

All the other penguins had begun 70
