Question

Penguins are lovely seabirds. They have wings but they cannot fly. They wear a black or blue-gray coat, and they have a white belly, and a pair of short legs. There are eighteen kinds of them. We must look at their heads and necks to tell one kind from another. Some of them have strange-looking hair on their head. When these seabirds walk on land, they are slow.
