mirrors burst into light. The lighthouse lamp<br />
was fixed and the beams of light shone all<br />
over the rocks below.<br />
The little mouse watched as the ship<br />
turned around and sailed safely away from<br />
the rocks.<br />
The waves calmed and the sea grew<br />
quiet. And the little mouse beamed.<br />
When the lighthouse keeper was well<br />
again, he found tiny footprints all over the<br />
lantern counter. He realised what had<br />
happened and made the little mouse a special<br />
captain’s hat. After that, the little brown<br />
mouse became known as The Lighthouse<br />
Mouse.<br />

THE PENGUIN WHO WAS<br />
STRANDED ON THE ICE<br />
Once there was a baby penguin named John<br />
and he loved playing with his friends.<br />
One day, John and his friends were<br />
playing tag.<br />
Suddenly John ran to the edge of the ice<br />
when he heard a noise…<br />
CRAAAACK!<br />
John got stranded on the ice. He cried,<br />
“Help, help!”<br />
All the penguins heard him and they all<br />
just gathered.<br />
His father heard John and then swam up<br />
to him. His father pushed a buoy over to him<br />
and said, “Hop on the buoy!”<br />
John hopped onto the buoy. Then his<br />
father swam to the buoy.<br />
“Jump onto my back now!” called John’s<br />
dad. His dad swam John back safely to shore.<br />
John learned to never stand near the<br />
edge of the ice again!<br />
