Howard found a suggestive metaphor in his tale. The dream of unity finding protection, when the storms of life were raging, in his faith that “underneath are the everlasting arms” exemplified by the egg protected from the bitter cold, surrounded by the mother and father. The egg came to be significant to him as a symbol of any person’s dream. It must be sheltered and kept close to the heart during all the cold, dark experiences of life until it is hatched. Howard’s telling and retelling of the penguin story brought renewed meaning deep within his being.
