HOMELESS PENeulNs

II will tell you a story this eve
ming" said daddy. 'about the home
less King Penguins.
''The story is not to be sad one
as you might imagine at first. "It is
simply to be a story of the Mr.. King
Penguins and the Miss Penguins who
never mated.
''They probably didn't care about
love-making and courtship like many
OF the birds do, and they didn't wish
to be bothered with thinking of feed
ing and bringing up the young, and of
doing all the many things that they
would have to do If they had homes.
"Of course even without real nests
such as other birds might have they
would have to have all the difficulties
of home-making and they didn't think
the pleasures were worth the trouble.
"They didn't think that the JOY of
being loved and Of loving another was
worth all the fussing and getting ready
for the young penguins they would
have to do. And they didn't think
that any young penguin was worth all
the patience and trouble and time that
he would require.
"For he would have to be looked
after and fed for so long a time. and
he would have to be taught how TO
swim with his wings and how to go
In the water and all of these things.
"And even If he would be so deaT
and cunning, covered with soft down,
they didn't want all the trouble.
$50 these were the homeless King
Penguins. They weren't as wise as the
other penguins. They didn't know
how TO 'ge the greatest amount OF
pleasure out of life and they hadn't
the sense to know that nice things
and great pleasures and happiness
do not always come rushing az a
creature, but that a creature himself
OF herself often must go to- great
deal of trouble for something worth
while.
"But these Penguins were fairly
happy even If they did miss a. great
deal. .
~Eyery day they came out of the
sea during the middle of the day when
II was warmer and they took sun
baths on the beach.
sometimes they would take maps
sitting UP or standing up. or lying
down. and often with their heads un-
