Summary

An elderly woman named Christine Cross has always been a huge fan of penguins. For Christmas, her daughter Lindsay fulfilled Christine's lifelong dream of petting a real penguin at SeaWorld San Diego. Christine was so overcome with emotion that she cried tears of joy.

Christine has always felt a connection to penguins because they are clumsy on land but graceful in the water, just like her. She collects anything penguin-themed and has sponsored penguins in zoos for years.

Lindsay said that when she told Christine about the present, "she didn't say any words. It was more like an excited noise." After the experience, Christine couldn't stop saying thank you.
