Brief Annotation: Roy and Solo are two penguins in the zoo that tried to hatch an egg together, it turned out that the egg was a rock. Because Roy and Solo are male penguins they couldn’t make an egg, therefore, the zookeeper gave them an egg that had been left behind by a female penguin. They hatched the egg and took care of the baby penguin named Tango.
