THE SNOW STORM 
53 
Little Mannie Penguin 
hunting for food, kept them busy enough most 
all of the time. 
It was a very well-ordered town, then, into 
which Little Mannie Penguin, the Emperor’s 
son, wakened to one fine morning when the 
sun was shining all day and all night. He was 
dressed in a dark woolen suit and a black hood 
that covered everything but the tip of his nose 
and his two eyes. But his head was so very, 
very heavy that he was unable to straighten it 
up and look about him. He was so very sleepy 
that he soon closed his eyes and slept on his 
mother’s knees, half hidden by the folds of the 
great warm robe she wore.
