Frank inspects the damage, sees his truck will need to be towed to a garage and so tries to flag down another truck for help.

Frank says, "My truck has broken down and it is full of penguins that need to be taken to the zoo today! Are you carrying anything?"

David says no.

Frank continues. "Great! I'll give you 500 Euro if you take these penguins to the zoo for me."

David says, "sure." So they load the penguins into David's truck and David drives away towards Antwerp. Meanwhile, Frank calls a garage to come fix his truck.

The next day, Frank finally arrives in Antwerp. Imagine his surprise, then, when he sees David walking down the street with all the penguins; hand-in-wing, wing-in-wing.
