Through this friendship, both penguins gain confidence and overcome their insecurities, with the once-shy penguin now more assertive.

The partnership between the penguins exemplifies mutual support and cooperation. By assisting each other, they demonstrate the importance of helping friends and receiving help in return. Their actions reinforce the idea that friendships involve looking out for one another and working together to overcome obstacles.
This Guide Is a Penguin
At a zoo in England, a young penguin cannot see well. It was hard for her to do things. Sometimes she bumped into walls or other penguins. Oops! And sometimes she fell over rocks. Ouch!
英國動物園有一隻企鵝的眼睛狀況不佳,行動很不方便。有時候她會撞到同伴或牆壁,也會被石頭絆倒。
Getting food was scary. When it was time to eat, lots of hungry penguins ran to the food! They got food with their long, sharp beaks.
餵食的時候也很危險,很多企鵝會衝到食物前,用牠們長長、尖銳的嘴巴吃東西。
But she couldn't see their beaks! She didn't want to get hurt. She needed help!
但是這隻企鵝看不到同伴的尖嘴。她需要幫忙讓她不受傷。
Another penguin was shy. He didn't join the other penguins. But one day, this shy penguin became her friend.
另外一隻害羞的企鵝沒有加入其他的企鵝,反而跟她成為朋友。
Now he's her guide. He helps her walk around. He makes sure she doesn't bump into walls or other penguins. He helps her get food.
他會帶著她走,不會讓她撞到牆或其他的企鵝,也會幫忙拿食物。
With his help, she isn't scared anymore. This young penguin knows she can do things now, so she's more confident! From helping her, he isn't shy anymore. He knows he can do things now too, so he's more confident!
有了朋友的幫助,這隻企鵝不再害怕,也更有自信。幫助她的企鵝也不再害羞,同樣也增強了信心。
