Peculiar Penguins (5)

  And he was just in the nick of time, for the ferocious creature had reared up and was about to ready to snap at Polly with his sharp jagged teeth.

  WHACK ! 

  Peter fetched the shark a terrible wallop with the stick right on his sensitive nose.

  Now the shark, furious at Peter, forgot about his dainty morsel and set out after her rescuer.

  Off through the water they sped, Peter carrying the stick in his mouth, the angry shark not far behind.

  Opening his jaws wide, the shark swallowed a school of little fish.

  While his jaws were open, Peter turned and jammed his stick into the shark's mouth so it couldn't close again.



  Then he rescued the little fish, and all awam safely out and away, the fish leading Peter who waved tauntingly over his shoulder at his pursuer.

  Unfortunately, he didn't see that the fish were heading for their favorite hiding place, a hole in the cliff that rose out of the sea.
  Into the hole the fish disappeared, but Peter Penguin, who was too large, slammed into the cliff.

  And there was the shark right behind him, having managed to work the stick out of its mouth.
