Scene VII.

Reading edition

Then Tiny must have flown to a colder country, for here are a penguin and an eagle. “A nice cool breeze here!” says the penguin to Tiny, as he flaps his little wings, which look like leather. “Don’t waste your time in such company, little girl,” says the eagle; “that half-bird, half-fish is a disgrace to the family of birds, of which I am king.” “I may be humble and ugly,” rejoins the penguin, “but he is a bird of prey, without kindness or pity.”

The eagle looks so fierce at this retort that Tiny thinks it wise to fly away.
