The pengiuns  and friends (the goose and the puffin) have decided that they need another holiday so have been visiting zoos and entertainment centres to see their distant relatives and other marine creatures.

They were puzzled to see a seal playing tricks with a bouncy ball, considering that it had lost all dignity and should stick to fishing or hanging about the harbour waiting for scraps, like a proper wild animal, not fooling about on the Flum Christmas cake.
