MR.POPPER'S PENGUINS
By RICHARD and FLORENCE
ATWATER
Mr. Poppper was a housepainter.
Winters he read books on polar ex-
ploarations while Mrs. Popper swept
around him. He yearned to be an ex-
plorer. He wrote letters to explorers.
He wrote one to Admiral Drake in
the Antarctic. Admiral Drake sent
him an Antarctic penguin which he
named Captain Cook. Mr. Popper,
Bill, and Janie Popper were quite over-
joyed. Mrs. Popper was not quite so
pleased, but even she got used to
giving up the refrigerator for a nest
and having the cellar flooded for a
swimming pool in summer and an ice
rink in winter.
The penguin drooped. An appeal
to a great aquarium brought not a
cure but another droopy penguin
named Great. Both penguins stopped
drooping and before long there were
ten more penguins. Mr. Popper had
little money. Ice plants, penguins-
sized, are expensive. It worried him.
It worried the people who sold the
ice plant.
Finally, Mr. Popper had an idea.
He would train his flock as a vaude-
ville troupe. It worked wonderfully
and delighted everybody except per-
haps Pullman porters, traffic squads
and all other vaudeville performers.
