When Splat the Cat’s teacher, Mrs. Wimpydimple, announced that the class was taking a trip to the zoo, Splat was so excited that he could hardly sleep the night before. Each student in the class had a different zoo animal that they were most excited about seeing. For some, it was the giraffes; for others it was the elephants or the monkeys. Splat was most interested in seeing the penguins - he loved the black and white birds with their big eyes and awkward waddle. Seymour, Splat’s pet mouse, was very disappointed that he couldn’t go to the zoo too – but as everyone knows, elephants are afraid of tiny mice. Seymour decided to cook up a plan to attend anyway … At the zoo, the class happily visited the giraffes, elephants, monkeys and other animals but at the end of the afternoon, the students learned that they couldn’t see the penguins. Why? A sign explained: “Due to an elephant breaking the pool the penguins cannot come out today. Sorry!” Splat was devastated. What had happened … and how could he see the penguins after all? Fortunately, Seymour (who had caused the problem for the penguins in the first place with his “clever” plan) had another plan, one which would make things right again for Splat and the penguins.
