Parjiter Penguin’s Amazing Arctic Adventure

Book excerpt: Never underestimate the determination of the individual spirit when the germ of an idea escalates in the mind, and flourishes into an unstoppable resolve, culminating in an incredible achievement that no one had previously thought possible. History repeatedly shows the fruits of the indomitable human spirit. This time, however, the sheer determination and single-mindedness of a young Antarctic penguin to overcome the perils of undertaking a journey to the other end of the world, encapsulated this spirit. The strangest and most unexpected of friendships can also blossom, as Parjiter Penguin realises his ambition to come face-to-face with a polar bear, the rather grandly named Bridgeforth Bear the Third. This was just the beginning, however, of an amazing and sometimes perilous adventure that ensued between the new friends and cemented the unbreakable bond in this unlikeliest of friendships. The words of Parjiter Penguin’s school teacher had echoed in his mind when planning his incredible adventure, “Now,” said Parjiter to himself, “what was it that Miss Primrose said to the class? Ah yes, ‘polar bears and penguins can never meet’. Really! Well, we’ll see about that!”
