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!
