The fastest way to go
Travelling fast or travelling slow,
Which is the fastest way to go
Over the land or over the seas,
Which is the fastest Tell me, please!
Running on two legs over the ground,
Or riding my bicycle, wheels going round
Galloping fast on a galloping horse,
That’s faster than on my bike, of course.
But if you have to travel afar,
You’re faster again in a motorcar.
And very much faster when riding a train,
But the fastest of all in an aeroplane!
Flying so high right up in the sky,
Looking at all the clouds go by.
Faster than bicycle, car or train
The fastest of all is an aeroplane!

On the north coast of Brazil, scientists once found something very strange—lost penguins, far from home! The scientists did not know why the penguins were lost. Perhaps a warm current took
them north. But penguins cannot live for long in the warmer waters of the north. It was time to save the penguins.
Sadly though, some penguins were too sick to travel, and some were dying. The scientists took the healthy birds and put them on a large aircraft. They flew to the south coast of Brazil. Many people came
to watch the birds. But at first, the birds just looked at the water. Then, some of the braver ones swam about in it. It was cold! It was good!
And so they began the last part of their journey. People cheered loudly as the younger penguins started swimming behind the older ones. Together, they were on their way home at last.
