‘Can you pass me that tube, please, sweetie? It’s antibiotic ointment,’ said Dad. ‘There’s a slight graze on his side.’

Lulu handed Dad the tube and he smeared the graze with ointment.

‘Nothing’s broken,’ Dad decided, ‘but I think he’s suffering from shock and bruising. I’ll give him a shot of antibiotics. Then we’ll take him back to the cove and release him.’

‘Oh, no,’ said Lulu. ‘Can’t we keep him, at least for a few days?’

‘Sweetie, this little guy probably has a mate. She will be worried about him. Plus she’ll have a burrow full of little chicks. They will be hungry,’ explained Dad. ‘You know, if Scruffy had killed this penguin, all his chicks could have died as well. The chicks need one parent to stay and look after them. The other parent goes out hunting for food.’

Lulu nodded. ‘Then of course he needs to go home,’ she agreed.

‘Do you want to come with me to let him go?’ asked Dad.

‘Yes please, Dad. That would be great.’

‘We’ll need to check with Mum,’ warned Dad.
