Penguin - The Weston Auditorium, Hatfield

The Weston Auditorium, Hatfield - Ben is delighted when he rips open his present and inside is a penguin. “Hello Penguin!” says Ben. Penguin says nothing. Ben tickles Penguin; he pulls his funniest face; he puts on a happy hat, sings a silly song and does a dizzy dance. Penguin says nothing..so Ben fires Penguin into OUTERSPACE, Penguin comes back to earth without a word! It isn’t until a passing lion intervenes that Penguin finally speaks…and when he does, Ben discovers something that was really worth the wait…
