My Father's MiracleCCSSR2--infer a lesson from a story.

q In school we learned about the earth. We learned that rivers flow from higher ground tolower ground. They usually end at a bigger river or go into a lake or ocean. I can see that everyday in Chicago. Our river goes into the lake. It's a giant lake.

I We used to go fishing on the river every summer. Most days you would find me and my

grandfather there, fishing. My father was busy working for the city. I did not know what his jobwas. He said it was in the San!tarX and Ship Canal. He left early each morning and came home atnight, always very dirty. ÿ

My grandfather ....

to my grandfather(tell about had when lÿe first came to chicago. He had built-our "ÿ,/(home by himself. 'qÿe old days," he s Wÿg°gÿiÿlÿaÿfiÿs[rÿfii::ÿ' Kg[ KT]tii{ÿ!ÿf!!thy}'ÿ

That day was the end of our fun. We would see boxes floating by. Sometimes we evensaw dead fish floating on it. When we brought the fish home, my mother would throw them out."We can't eat this. This is djrtyÿbad fish." She sounded angry. But I thought she really liked mygrandfather.

So my grandfather and I stopped bringing the fish home. Sometimes we would go to fishand throw them back. But mostly we just stayed at home. We were sad about it.

Then one Christmas my father was so busy he was not home. He even went to work onChristmas day. That New Year's day he worked, too. My mother was worried. "It is too cold."

But he went anyway.

Then two days later the newspaper said, "it is a miracleV' That was the headline. I readthe article. It told how the workers on the Sanitary and Ship Canal had done somethingimpossible. They had reversed the Chicago River. They dug such a great hole that the riverrushed away from the lake. It now went to the west. Now you could go on the river and canal allthe way to the Mississippi River.

I was excited. So was my grandfather. He said, "Now we can go fishing this summer." We

both laughed. So did my mother. My father smiled a lot, all day long.

tens of thousands of other

penguins on a rocky beach. It's

I tme 23, 2000, and the weather--cold

barks and honks and brays. Some of your

fellow penguins fight for territory, while others

cuddle with their mates or dote on

their chicks.

• They are humans, bfit you don't know that. You

have never seen a human before. These men and

women understand what you don't: that this oil:spiu is

a catastrophe for you and your species. Some of these

people have dedicatedtheir Hv.es to helping birds like

you, birds imperiled by off spills and other human-

made disasters. They have participated in bird rescues

around the world. All they care about is saving your llfe.

But how could you know this?

As these humans swarm the beach,

you ake overcome with panic. When a

man catches you, you viciously fight

him offwith your powerful jawsand razor-sharp beak. You bite his

arm, ripping his skin through the fabricof his thick coat. He doesn't let go, so you

strike again, biting his leg and "inflicting.

a wound that will leave a scar for the rest

of his life. Buthe cares more about you

than himself.

All across the beach, dozens of people

are capturing penguins, enduring

excruciating bites and wing sl.aps as they load terrified

birds into crates. It is painful, exhausting work, .and the

sight of all of these scared and injured penguins is

heartbreaking to the humans. Some--grown men

and women--fight back tears.

But they don't give up. Tens of thonsands of

penguins are in danger. And these people intend to

save every single one.

Ten miles from the island, 6utside the city of Cape

Town, a team of scientists and volunteers

has transformed a warehonse into a penguin

rescue center. They work with astonishing

speed. The warehouse contains hundreds

of round enclosures, each large enough

to accommodate 100 penguins. Other areas of

the warehouse have been designated for washing

penguins. One room is filled with 10 tons of frozen

fish, the amount needed daily to feed the penguins.

Acquiring this enormons quantity offish every day willbe among the workers' great chaflenges.

Actuall3ÿ everything is a challenge. Simply gettingone penguin to eat is a monumental task. In the wild,

penguins hunt for sardines, gobbling them up while

the fish are still alive and wriggling. These

penguins won't accept dead fish from human

As news of the rescue effort spreads, thousands of

SAVING PENGUINS, OATES WEA TER A T A TIME

October 1, 2014

twas September 1998, and the

rescue workers at Phillip Island

Nature Park m Australia had a

big problem: An oil spill near the

island was threatening the httle penguins

that lived there. (Li'ttle penguins are a

species of penguin, so named because

tlÿey are only 10 to 12 inches tall.) The

workers were scrambling to save the off-

slicked birds, but the penguins were in

bad shape. They couldn't keep warm. T0

make matters worse, they were trying to

preen their feathers to get rid of the off.

In the process, they were swallowing the

toxic off, which would slowly kiil. them.

If the workers didn't act quickly;.the little

i'. Then the workers had an unusual

idea: sweaters.

[_'ÿ : EspeciallyVulnerablei Oil spills inthe ocean are

! anmng the most devastating

', of envkonmental disasters.

When a large quantity of oilleaks

into the sea, it can decimate fragile

ecosystems and injure or kill marine

life. Oil clogs the blowholes of dolphins

and whales, interfering with their ability

to breathe. It coats the tar of otters

and seals, maldng it impossible for

them to warm up or cool off. Off can

also contaminate the food supply. Sea

mammals, for example, become gravely

ill after eating an oil-coated fish or plant.

Of all the creatures that make

their home in the ocean, seabirds like

penguins are especiallyvuLuerable in an

off spill. Oil strips feathers of the natural.

oils that keep birds warm. This leads to

hypothermÿa, a fatal condition. Plus,

ingesting even a small amount of oil can

be deadiyto seabirds.

Sweater Success

Volunteers got busy with their

knitting needles, and within days

the first penguins at PhiUip Island

were outfitted in their new wool

sweaters, tÿutting the sweaters on the

penguins was tricky; at first the birds

were determined' to tear them off with

their beaks. But amazingly; the sweaters

did the trick, warming the penguins

and keeping them ÿom preening.

This bought workers time to carehdly

clean the oil from each bird.. Over time,

the birds grew strong and healthy.

Eventually, file penguins were well

enough to return tothe wild.'

News of the sweaters' success spread.

Tiny sweater patterns were posted

online so that penguin-loving knitters

all over the world could help with rescue

efforts. Soon, sweater donations were

pou_fingin.

Enough Sweaters for NowOver the past 15 years, workers on

Pb]llip Island have put the sweater

donations to good use, helping

save more than 1,000

little penguins. (Sadly;

oil spills are not:- . Vnÿofrim0n near the

with tankers transpor0ng oil.)

Today; the nature park has more

sweaters than it fieeds. Infact, a

message on its website kindly asks

volunteers to refrain froth sending

sweatdfs for now. Surplus'sweaters

have been donated to other wildlife

conservation groups, or sold in the gift

shop, which raises money for the park.
