To face the critical illness, is like a declaration of war. The whole family is forced to battle or be defeated.

You and I may be peace lovers, do not want to participate in a cruel war.
In those hospitalized days of my beloved family members, I went visiting and care them frequently. The painful sickness made them unstable in emotion and got angry with themselves that they were making troubles to others. Sometimes, your care could be rejected or depreciated.

In recent years, global warming and marine pollution caused strange disease to many African Penguins, their beautiful black and white fur fall down and become naked. They are in sickness like human do.

Today, Daddy Penguin suggests the whole family to go sailing to relax and enjoy each other companion. Let’s take a break and get refreshed, we could gear up again.

“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up.”
---Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

面對危疾，像要宣告一場漫長的抗戰，整個家庭被迫上陣。
或許你和我也是和平愛好者，不願參與戰爭。

我在親人入院病患的日子，嘗試細意關懷探訪，卻無可避免相互嘔氣的時候。疾病的氣欿令病人情緒不隱，怕累著家人；親人所付出的不被欣賞，也會灰心氣餒。

近年，受全球暖化和海洋污染的影響，一些非洲企鵝患上神祕甩毛症，原本黑白分明美麗的毛脫得清光，情況像患病的人需要照顧。

這天，企鵝爸爸提議不如一家人出海玩耍，暢遊一番，享受彼此相伴的時光，期待一起再重新得力。

「兩個人總比一個人好，因為二人勞碌同得美好的果效。若是跌倒，這人可以扶起他的同伴；若是孤身跌倒，沒有別人扶起他來，這人就有禍了。」（傳道書四章九至十節）
