Please read this extra chapter, please. Yeah I know, I know, there are only 20 chapters. But the adventure continues. JUST READ THE CHAPTER!
~*~*~*~*~*~
Mr. Popper woke up. He had been on the ship for many days. He was worried about Mrs. Popper. When he got out of bed, Captain Cook, Greta, Columbus, Victoria, Nelson, Jenny, Magellan, Adelina, Scott, Isabella, Ferdinand, and Louisa were waiting for him. “Hello,” said Mr. Popper. Then Scott ran away! Scott had found the steering wheel! He thought it was a training wheel! He started to run on it.The captain of the ship tried to grab Scott, but Scott got off the wheel and out onto the ice. When Mr. Popper and the 11 penguins got off, Scott was waiting for them on the Russian tundra. “Ork, ork, ork, ork,” said Captain Cook, scolding Scott.
Time went by. When they were halfway through their Arctic adventure, they finally saw a polar bear. “Ork!” said Captain Cook. (Where is Greta?) Greta was in the water being chased by the bear. She was very fast! The polar bear was not. Then Greta jumped out of the water and landed feet first on a chunk of ice! The polar bear was so fixed on Greta that he bumped into the ice cap! Then Admiral Drake sped up on a snow mobile. “Get on!” he shouted. Admiral Drake took them to his laboratory. The penguins got X-rayed and had their monthly reflex check Then Admiral Drake said, “Let’s go fishing!”
After two months, again while they were fishing, Mr. Popper thought about this Arctic thing. He went over to Admiral Drake and said, “Can I go home?” “Yes,” said the Admiral. So the penguins stayed in their part of Russia and Mr. Popper went back to Stillwater. And they all lived happily ever after!
Well, that’s the end. Oh, and by the way, there are no more chapters! Bye!
