Penguin and Journalist
In Antarctica, where ice and frost are eternal,
There lived one Penguin who felt like king at sea.
His life passed slowly on the rocks and in the water,
In cold world where icy winds whistle day and night.
One Journalist came from afar on expedition,
To tell world about this unique place.
He wrote about harsh nature and hard life of Penguins,
And how they survive on the edge of earth.

Penguin, having learned about Journalist, approached him
And asked: "Why did you come to our lands?
What will you tell about our life?"
Journalist replied: "I want to share your true story."
And he began to write reports about life of Penguins,
About their society, and how they raise their offspring.
Penguin and Journalist became great friends,
Together they created beautiful story about northern nature.
Producers decided to make series about this,
And Journalist received large fee.
Penguin was not forgotten, he received share as co-author.
But when producers wanted to extend series for second season,
There was only one screenwriter left, and it was Penguin.
No one knows where Journalist disappeared
(Although some guess).
Well, this is today's fable about harsh nature,
Sudden cross-species friendship
And vague final with hope for third season,
In which Journalist will appear again
And will bring Penguin to clean water.
Or not.
