One day many years ago, I was talking to my grandson, Youri, about what we wanted most in life. “I want to see _1_, ” he told me. “That’s funny!” I replied. “I had the same dream when I was your age.”
But why penguins? Neither _2_ nor I knew. Maybe it was because these animals were distant and interesting to us. Every year, we talked about penguins to remember our _3_.
Last year, I received a postcard from Youri. He was on holiday in Italy. “The place is lovely,” he wrote, “_4_ there are no penguins.” These words _5_ something deep inside of me. I messaged him, “Come on, let’s go and see them!”
In February, we set off. We flew to Buenos Aires and then crossed Patagonia by bus to Tierra del Fuego. Youri, now 24, _6_ me every step of the way. Along the way, some French tourists said to me, “You’re lucky to have such a caring _7_!” They were right. Having Youri by my side made the _8_ one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.
We saw the penguins on the banks of the Beagle Channel. A big penguin jumped out of the water and walked to its baby. It spit out fish it caught, and the baby ate _9_. The big penguin lay on its side, eyes half-closed, clearly satisfied.
The sun was setting, painting the sky gold and pink. Youri smiled, “Grandpa, we _10_ it!” I nodded, watching the penguin family. They were like us—care and love each other.
