A Pink Penguin

Johnny turns five and his father asks him what he wants for his birthday. "I want a pink penguin, I want a pink penguin!" Johnny says. So his dad scrounges through all the pet shops in his home town and can't find any. So he gives him a tricycle as a gift. Then Johnny turns ten and again his father asks him what he wants for his birthday. And again Johnny says "I want a pink penguin, I want a pink penguin!" Now Johnny's dad searches all the neighbouring larger cities, even visiting a few zoo's, trying to find a pink penguin. Obviously no luck, so he returns and gives Johnny a mountain-bike. Then Johnny turns sixteen, and his dad asks him what he wants for his birthday. And again Johnny replies with: "A pink penguin, a pink penguin!" So his dad searches throughout the entire country; again, obviously, no luck. So he returns and gives Johnny a brand new car as a gift. Then Johnny turns 25 and his dad asks him what he wants for graduating college, and again Johnny says that he wants a pink penguin. Now his dad looks through the entire continent: he goes to Canada, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Argentina. No luck. So he returns in time for Johnny's graduation and he gives him a boat as a gift. A few years later and Johnny turns 35, this time his dad is way ahead of him and has spent the whole year looking all over the world for a pink penguin, he's gone to China, Japan, Germany, Russia, South Africa, Australia. But alas, no luck, so he want ahead and bought Johnny his own private jet. Now, Johnny is turning 50, and his dad is back from hospital after an accident he had while abroad, he hasn't even had time to think about his birthday. But when he visits his dad, expecting the old man to look downtrodden and dour, he finds him with a big grin on his face, in the corner of the room he sees...

A pink penguin.

"I found him during and expedition to Antarctica!" The dad says. "Oh dad," says Johnny, "it's all I've ever wanted!"

So Johnny walk over to the pink penguin to pet him. But all of a sudden the penguin bites him! He even draws blood! And he keeps pecking at him! So Johnny runs and he jumps on his old trike and takes it to the shed, where he takes out his bike and rides it to the parking garage where he keeps his old car, he takes the car to the docks and runs to his boat, he takes his boat to the seaside airport where he keeps his private jet and without thinking of take-off procedures he takes it into the air.

He's safe, or so he thinks...

He turns and to his left is the pink penguin, and you know what the penguin tells him?

Absolutely nothing, because penguins can't speak.
