Weather and Seasons

| Penguin: | I'm not an Eskimo! Next Spring I want to visit my cousin Toucan in Rio, where it's always hot! |
| Reporter: | Isn't the temperature there too hot for a penguin? |
| Penguin: | It's hot, but you get the wind from the sea and it rains every afternoon. |
| Reporter: | I prefer a warm and dry place, that's why I live in Australia. |
| Penguin: | For me, hot and wet is best! But I have a friend who lives in London, where it's cool and there's a lot of fog. |
| Reporter: | Really? What does he do? |
