Never underestimate the determination of the individual spirit when the
germ of an idea escalates in the mind, and flourishes into an
unstoppable resolve, culminating in an incredible achievement that no
one had previously thought possible. History repeatedly shows the fruits
of the indomitable human spirit. This time, however, the sheer
determination and single-mindedness of a young Antarctic penguin to
overcome the perils of undertaking a journey to the other end of the
world, encapsulated this spirit. The strangest and most unexpected of
friendships can also blossom, as Parjiter Penguin realises his ambition
to come face-to-face with a polar bear, the rather grandly named
Bridgeforth Bear the Third. This was just the beginning, however, of an
amazing and sometimes perilous adventure that ensued between the new
friends and cemented the unbreakable bond in this unlikeliest of
friendships. The words of Parjiter Penguin's school teacher had echoed
in his mind when planning his incredible adventure, "Now," said Parjiter
to himself, "what was it that Miss Primrose said to the class? Ah yes,
'polar bears and penguins can never meet'. Really! Well, we'll see about
that!"
