Today is a day where we all get together and explain about the problems that happen here. One new problem that has been added onto our list is the fish problem. Less and less fish in our water, the question is why and how? That's why we get together to find answers why this is happening. We don't know why this is. We need to find an alternative to this, or some way to fix this. We have scientists working on this problem right now figuring this out.

Today we woke up after the news about the fish in the paper, and everyone in town was gone. Everyone had left right away to get as many fish as they can possible. Everyone was freaking out about this problem. My family was starving so my wife and I went to get some fish. In the water there was lot of penguins, more than usual, and everyone was fighting over fish; it was crazy. We went into the water, "the seals have been active,” we were told by the other penguins. These seals are not finding as much fish, so they are hunting us more than before. This job is very hard and risky to do. Today we only caught three fish and usually we catch five or six. We also had to get out because of the seal problem. It was a sad day for some families because some penguins didn't return back home. This will become a bigger problem for us, our population will die down if there is no fish, and there are two reasons why. One, if there is no more fish, we can’t eat and we will die. Two, if we are hunting to find fish there will be more seals hunting us because there will be no fish for them to eat. Somehow we need to find a solution to this problem.

Bad news in the Paper

My good friend Robert the Polar Bear, came over to show me something the other day, his voice seemed to be much different than before, and he sounded upset and disturbed. He knocked on the door, and there he was standing there with a newspaper in his hand. He handed it to me, I read the title, "Fish Becoming Extinct?" I was shocked, I couldn't believe it, and it was very surreal to me. I kept telling myself "no this can't be right.” My family and I discussed this sad situation we have. We always had tons of fish; we even had a newspaper saying "too many fish, may cause a problem." That night we all had a very hard time going to sleep just thinking about what is going to happen in our future; no food. Between global warming and other problems in our world, now, we all have a big situation to worry about. We penguins in our society have to find a solution about this dire situation and fast. Other wise, we may be extinct in near future.

Penguins

I'm a penguin, my name is Earl, and I live in the southern part of Artic. Our landmass is made of ice, is melting here and almost all of the snow and ice is just about gone. Most of my polar bear friends have drowned because they became stranded on a piece of ice that drifted far away or the ice mass was too slushy for their heavy bodies to keep them above water. I really wish we could change this problem but no one seems to care or take action and help us over here. I have to go out daily and get food for my family, from breakfast to dinner. It is actually a very hard and dangerous job that I have to do to feed my family. We Penguins, as a whole group, have to go out and bring home food for our survival. Normally we travel for miles, depending upon where we find an opening in the ice. There is some good news and some bad news to this situation, but since the ice is melting we don't have to travel as far as before. The bad news is that the ice is melting faster than before, taking away our land and home, not only for penguins but also for the polar bears.
