Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z The freezing plant that Mr. Popper had got for the penguins downstairs was a large and good one. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z As Mrs. Popper finished the Waltz, both Nelson and Columbus stopped fighting, put down their flippers and stood still, facing each other.

Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z It was a good thing that Mr. Popper got the penguins moved when he did, because Mrs. Popper had been right about the eggs. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Let’s see,” said Mr. Popper, as he removed all the food and set it on the kitchen table.

Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper had smoothed down his hair and shaved off his whiskers. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z That night the Poppers sat up all night, taking turns changing the ice packs. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Then I will catch the penguins,” said Mrs. Popper, climbing up past him, with Janie and Bill following. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z When Nelson and Columbus were to fight each other with their flippers, Mrs. Popper played the “Merry Widow Waltz.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z At last, Captain Cook, standing still beside Mr. Popper, consented to pose. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Now,” said Mr. Popper, “don’t get up. Wait a minute. There is one more thing.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Maybe we could sell them to somebody, and then we would have a little money to live on,” said Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Hello,” said the theater manager, as the Poppers and the penguins trooped past him. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z What could he have meant by a surprise for Mr. Popper? Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z And the penguins, hearing their voices, scuttled up on deck and stood there beside the Admiral and Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper picked up his little globe and found the Antarctic. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “These Popper Penguins certainly live up to their reputation.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Then Mrs. Popper would play a pretty, descriptive piece called “By the Brook.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z It looked very odd there, but, as Mrs. Popper said, it was a relief at least not to have to wear their overcoats all the time. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z So the next day Mr. Popper called an engineer and had a large freezing plant installed in the cellar, and took Captain Cook and Greta down there to live. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper silently reached into his pocket and gave the service man his last five-dollar bill. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “I guess this is what you call the rookery,” said Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z When the Poppers rushed onto the stage, both penguins and seals had found the stairway leading to the Swenson dressing room and were on their way upstairs. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper had never forgotten how badly frightened he had been when Captain Cook had been so ill, before Greta came. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Mr. Popper,” he said, “I am Admiral Drake.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z The service man examined the bill carefully as if he didn’t trust Mr. Popper too much. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z This delighted the penguin, who was enjoying his own slide just ahead of Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z When it, or he—Mr. Popper had already begun to think of it as he—got to the bathroom, it looked around with a pleased expression on its face. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z The service man put his tool bag down on the kitchen floor, looked at the refrigerator, and then at Mr. Popper, who, to tell the truth, had not shaved yet and was not very tidy. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Very well, my love,” said Mr. Popper meekly, and he settled down with his pipe, his globe, and his book of Antarctic Adventures. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z He turned and strutted like one now, for Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mrs. Popper had gone marketing for canned shrimps for the penguin, so that Mr. Popper was alone in the kitchen to explain to the service man what he wanted done to the refrigerator. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z So Mrs. Popper picked out three different tunes to play on the basement piano, one for each different kind of act. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “I think it must be very boring down there,” said Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Carefully Mr. Popper began to fill the bathtub with cold water. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper turned the cold control switch to its coldest so that Captain Cook could sleep more comfortably. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Is that all right, Mamma?” asked Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z If only they could have got in touch with Mr. Greenbaum, Mr. Popper knew, that kind man would have got them out. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z But Mr. Greenbaum was somewhere in Hollywood, out on the Pacific coast, and the Poppers had no idea how to reach him. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Oh, I guess we can get another icebox for the food,” said Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Well, I didn’t, and I don’t think any of us will have any money for movies now,” answered Mrs. Popper, a little sharply. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Still, it would have been nice, he often thought, if he could have seen something of the world before he met Mrs. Popper and settled down. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z It was a pale and haggard Mr. Popper who was ready to announce his decision the next day. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z But at last everything was ready, and the day came when the Poppers were to go down and say good-by. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Meanwhile Mr. Popper had abandoned his telephoning and was now busy shaving and making himself neat in honor of being the owner of such a splendid bird as Captain Cook. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper was beginning to think, however, that he had better be getting back to Stillwater, for the penguins were growing irritable. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Look here,” said Mr. Popper at breakfast one morning. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z One night, quite early in November, there was a blizzard, and when the Poppers got up in the morning, there were large drifts of snow all over the house. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “I don’t think I’m supposed to go up there with the musicians,” he told Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z However, Mr. Popper promised to pay as soon as he could, and the man let him have everything on credit. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper, who had always been such a great reader, had no difficulty in thinking of names for the penguin children. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper soon found that it was not so easy to take a penguin for a stroll. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z It was quite a while before Mr. Popper got his pets safely into the baggage car. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z That evening, when the little Poppers had been put to bed, Mr. and Mrs. Popper settled down for a long, quiet evening. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Gork?” he inquired, turning to slant his head wisely at Mrs. Popper, and looking at her pleadingly with his right eye. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Would you mind putting on your gloves again for just a minute, Mrs. Popper? I’d like you to start playing that ‘Military March’ again and let the penguins parade for a minute. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Saturday morning Mr. Popper got up very early and smoothed his hair. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z The penguins began to drill very nicely, wheeling and changing their formations with great precision, until Mrs. Popper stopped playing in the middle of the piece. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “So will I,” said Mr. Popper as Captain Cook dragged him off down the street. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z There came a night, however, when Mrs. Popper, having put the children to bed, stopped Mr. Popper on his way to the cellar. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Can I have a few yards of clothesline, please, Mamma?” asked Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z So Mr. Popper, who never liked to be a nuisance to anyone, always took taxis instead. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper also flooded a part of the cellar floor for an ice rink, and here the penguins often drilled like a sort of small army, in fantastic marching movements and parades around the ice. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z In the morning Mrs. Popper took Captain Cook’s temperature again. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Is our money all gone?” asked Mr. Popper quietly. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mrs. Popper laughed, and Mr. Popper gasped as they saw the results of Captain Cook’s trips through the house. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z At last everything was done, and Mr. Popper turned the key in the door of the little house. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Then Mrs. Popper began playing the pretty, descriptive piece “By the Brook.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Still curious, Captain Cook started walking round and round the tripod, till the clothesline, the penguin, Mr. Popper and the tripod were all tangled up. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Well, I never,” said Mrs. Popper, very much impressed. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Very well then,” said Mr. Popper, “if there can be trained dogs and trained seals, why can’t there be trained penguins?” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Indeed, it now looked as if the Poppers would never see that check, since they could not get the penguins out of jail long enough to put on their act at the Royal Theater. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z He was very angry when he saw the Popper Performing Penguins opening wide their twelve red beaks, as if they were laughing at him. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Could we go to the hotel and talk about it?” asked Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Gaw!” said the sitting Penguin, and then squirming around in her nest, she turned her back to Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “I will do something about it tomorrow,” said Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “What are you going to call her?” asked Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “I think, Papa,” said Mrs. Popper, “that you had better take Captain Cook outside for a little exercise. Good gracious, but you’re all dressed up. Why, you look almost like a penguin yourself.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “No,” said Mr. Popper, “I have a better idea. We will keep the penguins. Mamma, you have heard of trained seals, acting in theaters?” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper pulled obediently at the clothesline, while Captain Cook took a parting peck at Mrs. Callahan’s striped stockings. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Yes, my love,” said Mr. Popper, “what is on your mind?” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “He knows he’s done wrong,” said Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper also dug a large hole in the cellar floor and made a swimming and diving pool for the birds. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Maybe I ought to get a license for him,” suggested Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “My name is Popper, not Topper,” shouted Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “It’s my icebox, and I want some holes bored in the door,” said Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Stop him, Papa!” screamed Mrs. Popper, retreating into the hallway with Captain Cook after her, and Mr. Popper and the children following. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “It would break the children’s hearts, too,” said Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “As two penguins, you mean,” answered Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Oh, it’s an act, all right,” said Mr. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “I must stop in and see Mrs. Popper at once. I would never have believed it. I will be going now.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Well, I don’t suppose I really could enjoy eating them, especially Greta and Isabella,” said Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “September thirtieth!” said Mr. Popper in an excited tone. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z With the unusual excitement, and having to go to market earlier than usual, Mrs. Popper had not yet got around to straightening the house. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “See, Mamma, he’s thanking me,” said Mr. Popper, patting the penguin. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “What do you suppose he likes to eat?” asked Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper signed the receipt and examined the box. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper saw that for all his words of agreement, the service man had no intention of putting on an inside handle. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Since the penguin kept looking over, Mr. Popper picked it up and dropped it in. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper was not sure just what had happened when he picked up himself and his chair a moment later. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z The Admiral shook hands with them and Mrs. Popper, and thanked them for having helped to train the extraordinary penguins that were to be a real contribution to science. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “It isn’t,” said Mr. Popper, tipping his Sunday derby. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z The refrigerating engineer was worried, too, when he found that Mr. Popper had practically no money. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “I don’t know what else is on the bill,” said Mr. Popper, paying him. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mrs. Popper picked up her mending, while Mr. Popper collected his pipe, his book, and his globe. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Then Mr. Popper moved all the furniture in the living room to one side, so that the penguins and the children would have plenty of room for real sliding. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Oh, ordinary penguins, yes,” said the Admiral judiciously; “but not such highly-trained birds as yours, Mr. Popper. They could outwit any polar bear, I guess.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z The penguins under their firemen’s helmets were parading in front of the policemen, while the seals, in their policemen’s caps, were barking at the firemen, when Mr. Popper and Mr. Swenson finally opened the door. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z It was arranged that the Poppers should stay in New York just long enough to see the Expedition off. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper put on his best Sunday derby and opened the front door with Captain Cook waddling graciously beside him. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Fair enough,” said Mr. Popper, who wanted to ask for transfers in that case, but decided to let well enough alone. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Then Mrs. Popper had to scrub and polish and straighten the whole place, for she was much too good a housekeeper to leave everything at sixes and sevens while the Poppers were away. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Well, dear me, I never thought we would have a penguin for a pet,” said Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z He and Mrs. Popper had thought up this name for the act. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z When they saw Mrs. Popper coming after them, the penguins felt very guilty, because they knew they did not belong there. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z In the pleasant little city of Stillwater, Mr. Popper, the house painter, was going home from work. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Yes,” said Mrs. Popper, “but if you keep them outside the house, they might run away.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper had a feeling that Mr. Greenbaum would probably turn up by the end of the week, to see about renewing the contract. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Now, Papa,” said Mrs. Popper, “you really must do something. We can’t go on like this.” Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Maybe we can train him,” said Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Of course I have heard of trained seals,” answered Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Bad, bad penguin!” reproved Mrs. Popper, glaring down at Captain Cook. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Many of them began to complain to the driver, who told Mr. Popper to take his birds off the bus. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Slowly but unwearyingly, Captain Cook lifted one pink foot after another from one step to the next, followed by Mr. Popper at the other end of the clothesline. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z But the penguins simply refused to eat spinach or oats, and Mr. Popper was much too honest to say they would, even though he knew the money would come in handy. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Popper was right to think that science can flourish only in an open society. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z “Now what?” inquired Mr. Popper of Captain Cook. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z “Better leave him alone, children,” said Mrs. Popper. Mr. Popper's Penguins 1938-09-01T00:00:00Z Mr. Popper, who had followed the penguins up the stairs, stopped when he saw that it led to the orchestra pit.
