　　Penguins(企鵝)live together, but each pair has a little ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk through its neighbour’s ground, it must ask for permission. If it does not, it will have to fight. Penguins come and go all day. They fight fish and look after their children.

　　All penguins are good parents—the male penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in from the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic(南極的)water. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them—not see them. Then the female penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The male looks after the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks. There is no food. The snow falls and the wind blows—sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters—the eggs. Male penguins never fight—unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it. They are strange and wonderful birds.
