The Dog and the Penguin lived in the zoo,
They were different, like heaven and earth.
The Dog loved to run and bark,
And the Penguin loved to silently swim.
The dog thought, that Penguin can't go anywhere,
And Penguin said, that the Dog can't walk on ice.
One day they decided to have a competition,
Fight and find out who is better.
The Dog ran fast on the ground,
And the Penguin swam quickly in the water.

But suddenly something unexpected happened,
A heavy snowfall began at the zoo.
Dog lost in the snow,
She got tired and lay down in anticipation of death.
And Penguin went to her and said:
"Don't blame yourself for not being able to swim in snow,
After all, each has its own characteristics,
And everyone should appreciate their uniqueness."
The Dog learned this lesson
And began to respect other animals,
After all, everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages,
And only together we can succeed.
But Penguin got no lesson,
And so he began to consider himself a strong personality.
Soon he created the nazi party,
But in the end he was convicted by an international tribunal
And executed by drowning.
