Once, there lived a penguin, and she madly fell in love with a naked mole rat that fell in love with her. The penguin came to live with the naked mole rat in his burrow. But, alas, she couldn’t take the heat.

“Honey,” the penguin said, “I’ve got to get out of the kitchen.”

“Well, come on inside the living room burrow and lay down in the cool. I’ll finish supper,” the loving naked mole rat said.

“No, honey, I’ve got to go back to where I came from. I want to stay here, I honestly do, but I can’t.”

“If you cannot live here with me, then I’ll go to Antarctica with you. I cannot live without you.”

They packed up their love and left the homely burrow to live in cold and windy lands. But, just as the penguin could not take the heat, the naked mole rat was unable to cope with the bitter freezing cold. He died. In the snow.

Moral:
There are some things love can’t conquer.
