Mrs Penguin's Perfect Palace

The Penguin family lives on the beach, surrounded by rubbish. Until one day, Mrs Penguin says: we need a house! But how will they build one?

I wish I had a house said Mrs Penguin

I don’t like living in rubbish

Dear Mrs Penguin, said Papa Penguin

We will build you a palace

So the Penguin family set to work

The sand is making me itch, grumbled Sissie

The measurements are wrong, said Boetie

I’m hungry said Gobbles

Mrs Penguin sighed

She was doing all the work

At last the castle was finished

But the tide came in and washed it away

We’ll try again said Papa Penguin

Come children, we’ll build Mama a mansion from stone

So the Penguin family set to work

The stones are heavy, grumbled Sissie

The measurements are wrong, said Boetie

I’m still hungry, said Gobbles

At last it was finished

But the wind came up and blew it over

Mrs Penguin was cross

I’m not doing any more work, she said

We’ll try again, said Papa

I can’t think of anything, said Sissie

It’s too hard

We haven’t got any cement, said Boetie

You can’t build a proper house without cement

I’m hungry, said Gobbles

Mrs Penguin sighed

She was never going to get her home

Just look at all this mess, she said

Then Mrs Penguin had an idea

Boetie, fetch wood, she said

Gobbles, pick up plastic

Papa, fetch the hammer

Sissie, find nets

All day they worked

I’m tired, said Sissie

Keep working, said Mama

The measurements are wrong, said Boetie

Keep working, said Mama

I’m still hungry, said Gobbles

Keep working, said Mama

It’s going to be wonderful, said Papa

You’re doing a good job, said Mama

So they worked and worked and worked and worked

and at last the house was finished

Welcome to your palace, said Papa

Mrs Penguin clapped her flippers

Thank you, she said

It‘s Mrs Penguin’s Perfect Palace
