A story about Pirate Penguin, a flightless bird on a brave quest to find treasure at the South Pole, written specifically for children aged 5-7. I hope you enjoy this bright, comic-book-style adventure!
English:
The icy winds of the Antarctic howled, but Captain Puddles didn't flinch. Clutched in his flipper
was the Pirate Penguin’s Compass, its golden needle spinning wildly. Somewhere beneath
the shifting glaciers lay the Great Fish Hoard, and only this rusted relic knew the way.
Chinese:
南极洲的冰风呼啸着，但帕德斯船长纹丝不动。他的鳍肢里紧紧握着那只海盗企鹅的罗盘，
金色的指针正疯狂地旋转。在移动的冰川之下，埋藏着巨大的“鲜鱼宝库”，而唯有这件生锈的遗物
知道前行的方向。
