The Googly-Eye Penguin in The Snow

Pip The Penguin basked in the glorious spring sunshine. The sky was a dazzling blue canvas with fluffy white clouds that looked suspiciously like cotton candy. "Perfect day for a swim!" she chirped, already picturing herself gliding through the cool water.

As Pip reached the edge, a gust of wind blew, sending shivers down her little black and white body. The cotton candy clouds had morphed into dark, swirling storm clouds, and snowflakes the size of marshmallows began to fall.

Pip blinked, "Spring? More like Brrr-ing!" she squawked, her flippers already feeling numb.

Pip decided to adapt. "Well," she mumbled, "snow swimming sounds a bit chilly, but maybe a snow belly slide?" Then she shuffled off, leaving a trail of footprints on the freshly fallen snow.

Unbeknown to her, somebody in the castle played with Seasonal Jars.
