INTO THE ROBBER’S DEN 
97 
people in the robber’s den that they could 
hardly turn about. 
And what do you suppose they found? 
Nobody home! Nobody home at all for the 
old robber had heard them coming up the hill 
and had made his safe escape. But there was 
his bad bed made of little Penguin bones and 
egg-shells. They took his bed and his own 
eggs as well, and they buried the bones of the 
little Penguins, then they marched in triumph 
down the hill. 
It had been a great day in Penguin Land, 
even though they had not captured old robber 
Sheathbill, their ancient enemy. Let us hope 
that they may be more successful in the future, 
for he is really a very bold, bad fellow.
