Once upon a time, in the frozen land of Antarctica, a group of penguins lived together. They were a happy and playful bunch, and they spent their days swimming and sliding on the ice.

But one day, something strange happened. The sun disappeared, and the penguins didn’t see it for many months. The land became dark and cold, and the penguins didn’t know what to do.

At first, they tried to keep playing and having fun as they always had. But it was too cold and dark, and they soon became unhappy and lonely.

One day, a wise old penguin had an idea. “Let’s all huddle together and create a circle,” she said. “That way, the penguins on the inside will be sheltered from the cold, and the penguins on the outside can take turns protecting the group.”

The other penguins liked this idea, and they quickly formed a circle. They huddled together, and the penguins on the outside took turns switching places with the penguins on the inside.

This worked well, and the penguins were able to stay warm and protected from the cold. They were also able to keep each other company, and they didn’t feel so lonely anymore.

As the months went by, the penguins continued to switch places in their circle. They worked together as a team, and they helped each other through the difficult times.

Eventually, the sun returned, and the penguins were able to enjoy the warmth and light once again. They were grateful for their teamwork and for the support they had given each other during the long, dark months.
