I swear I will kill whoever thought up of something as idiotic as Saturday school. I mean, I'm kinda ticked off because I have to go to school on my day off, but do you blame me? I mean, who gets up at, like, 6:30 on a Saturday? Apparently the teachers at my school don't think that us kids actually have a life. I mean, really! I'm kinda ticked off and I have every reason to be because I have to get up early to watch a movie of something dumb like that.

The Adventures of Puff the Magic Penguin Ch. 5
Puff rushed down to the beach. No Lookays! Where on earth was his family? Had the bird been right? But Puff could see tasty rainbow fish leaping in and out of the water. He dived into a wave and emerged with one in his mouth. Yum yum! He'd never eat fruit again!
Just when Puff was deciding that this had to be the absolute best day of his life, he heard a distant BOOM, BOOM, BOOM that was getting louder all the time. "Not again!" he squeaked, hiding behind a washed-up pile of seaweed. Ooh, seaweed was good too! Almost as good as fish! Puff was going to eat it, but at the last moment his tiny brain realized that he shouldn't eat his cover.
The Hecogrin came into sight, swinging its huge legs and making its way toward Puff. The little Lookay made a dash for some rocks just as the Hecogrin's huge foot smashed the seaweed where he had just been sitting. The Hecogrin bent down to take a drink from the sea, but he didn't go out for a swim. Why didn't he? True, the water was really deep, even right up against the bank, but surely this thing new how to swim?
Oh, no! The Hecogrin had spotted Puff! There was no where for him to escape to except the sea, and certainly this creature would overtake him! "Screwed," he whispered to himself as he waddled toward the water.
Puff dived in and swam as fast as he could. Yummy, a rainbow fish! Ooh, some seaweed! Don't stop! he scolded himself. The Hecogrin was wading into the water after him, the waves lapping at its head, but it still didn't swim. Puff swam about a hundred more feet and looked back at the Hecogrin. Its legs were waving wildly, and its mouth gasped for air. Its head went under and didn't resurface.
The Hecogrin couldn't swim? How strange. Normally Puff would have thought that that was funny, but he wasn't in the mood to laugh. It's not easy to laugh right after you've almost been eaten by something that has a toe bigger than you.
So you're probably wondering, how did Puff get back home? Did he ever find his family? Did he evolve?
I know that you're curious, but my fingers are getting cramped from typing so much and I don't feel like explaining every little deatail. I'm going to skip to one last scene, two million and four years after the Hecogrin's difeat. You will have to fill in the holes yourself.
"Starship Koolish Kat requesting permission for orbit," Puff said. He guided his starship down to his home planet. His second-in-command, named Twirly (the Lookays were a very funny group of animals) came up beside him. "What's that memorial for?" he asked, pointing to a huge stone marking place that said, "In honor of the bravery of Puff the Magic Penguin" on it.
"That's for the first Puff," Puff answered. "Two million and four years ago, he defeated a huge animal. That was his nest."
"Do you know anything else?" Twirly asked.
Puff shook his head. "The deatails are lost in time."
Well, reader, you know the whole story. Don't you?

The Adventures of Puff the Magic Penguin Ch. 4
Puff stared at the bird. It could not be true! He had been so, so sure that when he got to the ocean, he would find his family. "You're lying," he squeaked. The bird glared at him and fluffed out his feathers. He let out a raspy sort of ca-caw and flapped into the air. How strange. Puff waddled over to a fruit bush and swallowed some fruit. He was exhausted from his long walk. Actually, it hadn't been that long, but Puff was small and he was tired. Who needed the bird?
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
"The Hecogrin!" the bird shouted. "Run, little Lookay, run!" But there wasn't time to run. Puff jumped onto a rocky ledge and hid in a crack barely big enough to fit him. He peeked out and saw the Hecogrin stamping past. What kind of animal wants to make its home here? Puff thought. Getting chased by a huge killer mountain was not anything like the fun of diving under the sea to catch a fish and then gulp it down- yum yum! What he wouldn't give to eat a rainbow fish right now! Fruit just didn't cut it.
The Hecogrin wandered off again. Puff slid out from his crack and started waddling over the next hill. Maybe, just maybe, he could beat the Hecogrin to the sea. It wasn't likely, but if maybe the Hecogrin tripped and broke his its leg and then got sidetracked chasing those animals that almost killed Puff... It could happen. And then, maybe, the Hecogrin would decide that it was better if he made friends instead of eating things and then maybe decided that fruit was better than meat...
The Hecogrin was in front of him. Drat! Its littlest toe was larger than Puff. It chased some animals out of sight.
The next morning, Puff woke up to find that he had overslept. The sun would start declining soon. He ran and ran and ran until his feet ached, but at least he could see the sea!

The Adventures of Puff the Magic Penguin Ch. 3
Puff ran as fast as his short legs would carry him toward a different geyser. He managed to reach it before becoming food and threw himself onto it. The geyser carried him up, up, up, then flung him much farther than the other one had. This time there was no bush below him, just some oddly colored land and rocks. Puff closed his eyes and wondered how much it would hurt.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on the rocks. Only they weren't rocks. He was on the back of the largest animal he had ever seen.
Puff decided that he was suffering a minor heart attack. He wasn't hurt, but the animal didn't seem to notice him. Was this the Hecogrin? If it was, than the lizard hadn't exaggerated when he talked about its size. The Hecogrin was running fast, chasing some animals that scattered quickly. Then the Hecogrin twisted, sending Puff flying. He landed in a tree, stuck in a fork between two branches. Puff twisted and turned, but only succeeded in getting himself more stuck. Well, at least he hadn't hit the ground. Puff was considering himself to be a very lucky Lookay. He caught sight of a bird seated on the tree next to the one that he was stuck in. "Could you please get me down?" he asked. The bird looked around for the source of the voice. When he spotted Puff, he said, "You're a Lookay, aren't you? You'd better wait until the Hecogrin goes away. He'd eat you if you got down now. He's still looking for some Lookays who might have returned."
Puff watched the Hecogrin run after the animals. He winced when the huge beast scooped one up in his jaws and ate it with a sickening crunch. Soon, though, the Hecogrin was out of sight, and the bird grabbed Puff and carried him to the ground. "I'd go back home if I were you, little Lookay," the bird said. How strange that every animal that Puff had talked to had said that. Well, not the aardavark. "I'm lost," Puff explained. "I got carried over here in that big storm yesterday, but if I can find the sea I will find my family."
The bird shook his head. "You must have been carried very far by that wind, little Lookay. There aren't any of your species around her for miles. They all scattered when that Hecogrin came here. You've got quite a ways to travel."

The Adventures of Puff the Magic Penguin Ch. 2
What was there to eat in his place? Puff couldn't see the sea, so of course there was no tasty rainbow fish, and then there was grass, but he knew from his experiences that grass didn't taste very good. He guessed that the only thing to eat was those cone-shaped objects hanging from the plants. Puff walked over and took a huge bite. To his surprise it tasted very good, and soon his belly was bloated with fruit.
Now for the Hecogrin business. Was the Hecogrin a species or an animal? Puff wattled over to the lizard-like animal and asked, "What is the Hecogrin and what did he do to all the Lookay?" The lizard thought a bit before he replied, "The Hecogrin is a huge animal, bigger then that hillside over there, that likes to eat smaller animals. About a year ago he came through here and ate all the Lookays... well, not all of them, some of them ran away. He still lives here, so if I were a little Lookay like you I'd waddle back to where I came from."
Puff wished that he could waddle away from here, go back to his home and his sea. But he didn't know which direction to go. "Is there an ocean around these parts?" he asked the lizard. The lizard nodded and pointed with his tail to a hill. "Walk over that hill, and you'll see a bunch of other hills. Keep walking, and you'll reach the ocean. It'll probably take about two days for a little creature like you, but I wouldn't try it. That's where the Hecogrin lives." Puff was getting sick of hearing about the Hecogrin. The lizard was probably just exagerating when he said that it was as big a the hillside. But if he got to the sea, he could meet his family and disscuss moving to a place where animals hadn't lost their minds.
Puff waddled up the hill. When he was about halfway to the top he heard the lizard yell, "Hey! Did you listen to what I just said? The Hecogrin will eat you if you go toward the sea!" Puff continued walking. He reached the top of the hill, threw himself on his belly, and slid down... right onto a spice gyser.
The gyser lifted him into the air. Puff vainly flapped his flightless wings, trying desperatly to navigate, as he'd seen other birds do. It was no use. The gyser flung Puff through the air. He would have died if he hadn't landed in a bush. Puff struggled out of the branches and leaves and looked around for the ocean. But all he saw was hills, with animals running around on them. Puff began to waddle past some ferocious-looking animals when suddenly they turned toward him. "FOOD!" one said, and they all started running for him.
