Ha, ha. I really, really like this. On a first read, it's so simple, and yet ponder for a few seconds and it conveys a depth of meaning that most will be able to relate to.

I didn't pick up on any spags?

All the best for the contest when the judging starts :)

Cute conversation and I love the name - Jonas. A great name for a penquin.

Oh for God sake, could you say 'think' and not 'fink'? - did you mean 'for God's sake'?

Good luck in the contest.

Hello Ulla. I like the picture with the two penguins. The dialogue was entertaining as I imagined the penguins carrying on the conversation. It shows penguins have their problems just like the rest of us. Z

You're welcome.

It seems to me Jonas is a bit of a jerk. Best to let him continue packing and send him back where he came from, if they'll have him. Good luck in the contest.

Hello Ulla,
Sometimes short and succinct is far better than a long repetitive road to the same place.
Proper speech only exists today in a few moldy, old castles. It's all those little differences that make the world interesting.
Great picture and wonderful message in your story.
Well spoken.
Good luck in the contest
Robert

I didn't quite get what was going on except one speaker didn't like the way the other one, who was packing, spoke. Was that it?
Best of luck in the contest, Ulla.

Hi Ellen, that's it. I just wanted to show how differnt dialects can grate on otherwise like minded persons. I know the language I'm using here is very British. I lived there for many years.Ulla :)))

A very well-written dialogue between two friends who both speaking English but both pronounce words differently making the other to think he speaks frunny, or wrong but that is what makes us all different.,

An original take on this contest. Language problems don't always involve crossing international boundaries! An entertaining dialogue to illustrate the point.
