(4) K-3 Translated by Marianne Martens. Filbert is flying along nicely when a seagull reminds him that penguins can't fly. Embarrassed, Filbert crash-lands and mopes. A seal reminds him about the things he can do (elegant waddling, ice dancing) and says "you can do anything you want to, if you just set your mind to it"; then the seal flies off. The silly conclusion and cartoony pictures of chubby animals soften the pointed lesson.
