10 . In 2011, retired worker Joao, found a South American penguin________ on the rocks and close to death on his local beach in Brazil. Joao cleaned the oil________ the penguin’s feathers,________him a daily diet of fish to get his strength up and named him Dindim.
A week later, Joao tried to ________the penguin back into the sea, but he just wouldn’t leave. Joao took him out in his boat, went to a nearby island and released him. Later that day, the penguin was back in Joao’s backyard. In the end, Dindim stayed with Joao for 11 months and then, “just after he changed his coat for new feathers he________,”Joao explains.
In fact, Dindim returns to Joao’s little beach in the summer every year-it’s ________that the penguin prefers to visit the elderly man rather than ________ to the feeding areas of his species.
Joao________how the penguin continued to follow him home. “Everyone said he wouldn’t return, but he________back to visit me for the past four years,” he says, “He arrives in June and ________ to go home in February and every year he becomes more affectionate as he appears even________to see me.” Now new pictures have________of Dindim visiting Joao in his village earlier this month.
When Dindim is staying with Joao, the two friends sometimes like to take a walk together down the beach-or sometimes Joao walks and Dindims swims alongside him. “I love the penguin like it’s my own________and I believe the penguin loves me, ”Joao says. “No one else is allowed to touch him. He pecks them if they do. He lies on my lap, lets me give him shower and allows me to feed him sardines and to________him up.”
