I
ran across a really cool story, talking about the male Emperor Penguin. Shortly
after the female penguin lays one egg, she will leave the egg with the male
penguin while she goes and search for food. The female penguin could be gone a
couple of months, leaving her egg in the care of the male Emperor Penguin (Responsible).
The male will KEEP the egg warm and PROTECT it from the elements by balancing
the egg(WORKING) on their feet; COVERING the egg with feathered skin known as a
brood pouch. During these 2 months of babysitting (BEING PRESENT), the male
penguin does not eat anything (SELFLESS SACRIFICE) and is at the mercy of the Antarctic
elements.
The
female penguin returns to the breeding ground with a belly full of food, that
she will regurgitate for the newly hatched chick. Meanwhile, after being
relieved of duty, the male penguin will take to the sea, in search of food for
himself (PROVIDES FOR HIS FAMILY & THEN HIMSELF)!
I
understand that in these times, it is very hard for a man to be a man; so how
about this, just be a PENGUIN!
