Plot[]
Two pilots, one in a white helmet and one in a yellow helmet, are falling out of the sky in their ship named The Penguin. They find themselves stranded on a perfectly square island with their ship smashed to pieces. They spot something falling from the sky, and a giant instruction booklet lands on the island. White sees himself on the instructions, and the pair decide to try following the instructions to see if it will help them rebuild their ship.
The two pilots follow the instructions step by step until they have assembled a brand new ship. Yellow then attempts to attach the "Penguin" sign for decoration, but White becomes enraged that this piece is not in the instructions and confiscates it before clubbing Yellow to death with it. White tries to leave the island, but finds that The Penguin still cannot achieve flight.[2]
