In the beginning of the story a penguin was washed up on to Peka Peka beach. He was found by the animal vet who had taken him to an animal hospital. They had found 3 kilograms of sand and sticks inside the penguins stomach.
I'm feeling happy because happy feet recovered from swallowing 3 kilograms of sand and sticks. When I started to read this book I thought that the penguin might not survive but after 2 months of his recover he was fine and they sent him back.

Hi Dallas, it did sound like he might not survive! I am glad the vet helped him as well. Where do you think he could be now?
