The three penguins are always together. They play pranks on each other and sometimes squabble, as penguins do when nothing else is going on. One of them gets upset and walks away for a while. On ordinary days, that’s about all that happens. But today, a dove comes flying in with a message.
The flood is coming—it has, in fact, already started to rain. Two animals of each kind have tickets to Noah’s Ark. So, what should the penguins do? There are three of them, and no one wants to leave a friend behind. Can they all manage to board without being discovered? And how, then, do you keep an entire penguin hidden aboard a boat?
