Chapter One
And in the penguin house there are penguin families.Every year at the very same time, the girl penguins start noticing the boy penguins. And the boy penguins start noticing the girls. When the right girl and the right boy find each other, they become a couple.
Two penguins in the penguin house were a little bit different. One was named Roy, and the other was named Silo. Roy and Silo were both boys. But they did everything together.
They bowed to each other.
And walked together.
They sang to each other.
And swam together.
Wherever Roy went, Silo went too.
