The Land of Penguins
The Land of Penguins

From left to right: Ed, Lady Rednose, Emacs, Vi, and Sed |
The family with both the best and the worst reputation is the Rednose family. Many centuries ago the members of this family founded the city, and many of the achievements of the city were based on their work. However, it is difficult to become accepted by them as an inhabitant. If you do not speak their accent, they will simply ignore you or correct your language. In fact the Rednoses are not really penguins, they are puffins. This is why they insist that the name of the country is not Penguins, but Puffins-and-Penguins.
The mother of the Rednose family is Lady Rednose. She is busy keeping track of family history and taking care for her children (she often needs to settle disputes between her sons).
The eldest son of the family is Ed. He is 17 years old. He often plays with electronics. You would not believe me if I told you what he already has produced from things like a broken hair-dryer, an old shaver, etc. The second son is Vi. He is 14 years old and loves playing computer games. The youngest son is Emacs. Currently he has the flu.
The cousin of Ed, Emacs and Vi is Sed (the puffin with the yellow nose). He works in the restaurant "To the diving bird", which would have been his restaurant if his father would have sticked to the family tradition and used Sed as his heir instead of Mrs. Lin Dows.
Lady Rednose's husband, Lord Gentoo Rednose, is away to a Linux hacking session (as always). But what can you expect from someone who is proud to be the purest of all geeks?
