When I got home yesterday my apartment mate was in her room, reading in bed. In my room, a large penguin was holding forth to a dinosaur and a little black cat, while the one-legged monkey looked on disapprovingly. He finds the fact that the penguin is so much taller than him suspect, and a sign of moral failing. The penguin's size is "unnatural".
He has pointed this out.
The other three penguins -- the short ones with the big honkers and bow ties -- have not commented. Because the new guy is a rather upstanding sort, and they've seen it all before. There are four penguins now, one of whom is wearing a lavender kippah, the others are presumably Goyish.
This apartment has a quartet of 'Peng'.
As well as four monkeys.
And four bears.
I do not know how this happened.
There are only three cats.
Three is a good number.
