Once upon a time there was a little penguin named Waddles. He lived in the North Pole and loved to play with his friends. One day, Waddles became very confused because he couldn't find his way back home. Suddenly, he saw a polar bear who looked shocked. "What's wrong?" asked Waddles. The polar bear said, "I can't find any fish to eat and I'm very hungry." Waddles felt sorry for the polar bear and offered to help him find food. They searched for hours and finally found a fish. The polar bear was so happy that he thanked Waddles. But then, Waddles became angry when he realized that the fish was the last one he had saved for himself. The polar bear was sad and apologized, but Waddles was too excited to be angry for long. They shared the fish and had a great dinner together. From that day on, Waddles and the polar bear were the best of friends and always helped each other out.
