Penguin, an adult emperor penguin, bristles with frustration. He watches the clumsy, flightless dodos waddle by, their carefree chirps mocking his own earthbound existence. A simmering rage boils within him. "They can't fly," he hisses through gritted teeth, "and yet, they seem perfectly content." Penguin vows to defy his species' limitations.
