Weekly Penguin 237

This operatically posing penguin has an anecdotal story behind him.

One day, about two years ago right before Christmas, I was coming home from work. As I was passing through the streets, I caught a glimpse of something in the corner of my eye. As I turned to window front of a real estate company, I saw a line of these adorable fellows. Without a moments hesitation, plunged in the firm doors and asked around where these fellows originated. They told they had ordered all their Christmas décor from one company and gave me the address.

I thanked, wished Merry Christmas and bolted out the door – and headed, on foot, to the other side of town to this store. They first had no idea what I was talking about, until one of the store keepers recalled they still had some of penguins in storage. After some digging, I finally got my hands on one of these birds and bought it – I didn't even ask for the price first.

The trip cost me one and a half extra hours on top of my long work day, and though it was one and a half hours away from TAGAP 2 development, it was worth it. I mean come on, just look at it! Adorable!
