Reading Horizons (2nd)

Jules the penguin waddled by the sea, feeling the cool breeze on his feathers. He looked up at the sky, wondering if today would be the day he finally felt comfortable enough to swim. The sea seemed both a friend and a foe to him, vast and unpredictable.

"Why are you so scared, Jules?" asked his friend, Milo, who was already floating comfortably on the water. 

Jules sighed, "I just don't feel workable in the water, Milo. It seems impossible to stay afloat."

Milo flapped his wings, sending droplets of water towards Jules. "You are a penguin! Swimming is in your nature. It's not as terrible as you think."

Jules watched as the waves rose and fell, the sound of the water was both soothing and intimidating. "I know," he said, "but the sea is so much bigger than me."

"Let's make it enjoyable," Milo suggested, "I'll be right here with you. It will be like one of our gatherings, just in the water!"

Jules hesitated, the idea seemed admirable, but his fear was palpable. He took a deep breath and stepped closer to the water's edge. The sand felt rough under his feet, a stark contrast to the smooth sea.

"Come on, Jules," Milo encouraged. "It’s possible to enjoy this. You're not alone."

Jules nodded, taking another step forward. The water was cold, but he felt a sort of thrill, like an adventure. "Okay, Milo," he said, "I trust you. Let's do this."

With a deep breath, Jules slid into the sea. The water embraced him, cool and refreshing. At first, he felt a bit confused, but soon he realized he was floating. His fear began to fade.

"See? You're doing it!" Milo cheered, swimming circles around him.

Jules laughed, feeling lighter and more confident. "This is incredible!" he exclaimed, bobbing up and down with the gentle rhythm of the waves.

They swam together, Jules gaining more confidence with each stroke. The sea that once seemed so insurmountable now felt like a new friend. 

As the sun began to set, Jules and Milo returned to shore. Jules felt proud, having overcome his fear. The sea was no longer a place of worry but a new playground he could explore.

"Thank you, Milo," Jules said, shaking off the water. "I couldn't have done it without you."

"That's what friends are for," Milo replied with a smile.

Jules looked back at the sea, now a shimmering, peaceful expanse. He knew he would return, again and again, to explore its depths with newfound courage.

Jules the penguin felt comfortable in her snowy home. Each day, she slid on the ice, feeling the crisp air fill her lungs and feeling the cool breeze on her feathers.  

One morning, as she zoomed passed the icy cliffs, she spotted a questionable box buried in the snow. "What could be in this box?" Jules wondered, her heart pounding. 

She waddled over and opened it, revealing an incredible, valuable jersey. Its colors were bright and its material was comfortable and soft.

"This is unbelievable!" Jules exclaimed, slipping the jersey over her feathers. It fit perfectly, making her feel invincible and warm against the cold. 

As she admired her new find, she heard a soft and audible sigh behind him. 

"Hi Kate!" Jules called, spotting her friend, Kate the polar bear, stomping her way through the snow. 

Kate's eyes got bigger, "Wow, Jules! That is an incredible jersey. It's undeniable, it has to be a collectible!" she said. 

Jules nodded, "Yes, isn't it nice? It is adjustable and reversible too!" she said, while showing it off. Kate looked at her, "I wonder if someone lost it."

Jules looked worried. "Yeah, maybe," she started, "I found it in a box." She slowly started to take off the jersey. She began to feel terrible for thinking that she could keep the blue jersey. 

Just then, a jeep screeched to a stop. A man jumped out looking desperate. He saw a penguin and asked, "Have you seen a blue jersey?" he asked. "It belongs my son and it is very valuable to him. He accidentally left it in a box and needs it before his big game. When he wears it he feels unstoppable."

Jules felt guilty. "Yes, I found it," she said. "Here it is." She gave the man the neatly folded jersey that she had only taken off moments before. 

The man's face lit up with relief. "Than you so much! You are a very responsible and respectable penguin." He handed Jules a shiny badge. "This is for your kindness."

Jules beamed with astonishment at the badge and showed it to Kate. "Thank you," she said, smiling. 

She turned to Kate. "You did the right thing, Jules. What you did was admirable. You truly are respectable and responsible. Maybe we can make our own jerseys," Kate suggested. Jules nodded in agreement. 

As Jules waddled home, he felt the weight of her actions. She looked at the snowy sky and reflected on her day and felt a sense of accomplishment. "Today truly was incredible," she said under her breath.
