Percy the penguin had a big dream. He wanted to open an ice cream shop!
It was summer, and the sun felt warm. Percy looked all around for a special place.
Then Percy found a little cave by the sea. It felt cool inside and perfect!
Percy set up his bright yellow ice cream cart right outside. He filled it with tasty treats.
But oh no! The summer sun was very strong. Percy watched his ice cream start to melt.
Percy felt very sad. What could he do? His ice cream needed to be cold.
Suddenly, his friends came to visit! Selena the seal and Barnaby the puffin waved hello.
They saw the melting ice cream and wanted to help. "We can put it in the cave!" said Selena.
So they moved the cart inside the deep, cool cave. It was perfect for the ice cream!
Percy's Chill Treats was open! Everyone loved the cold, yummy ice cream. Percy felt very proud.
The end.
