STORYTIME: The Blue Dolphin -- Part 2

... The dolphin could not believe what he saw. The little girl looked so kind smiling at him. He jumped and jumped so the little girl would smile, and she did. Soon, other children started to gather around the little girl. Other boys and girls waved at the dolphin. He continued to jump and swirl in the water. The laughed, clapped and cheered. Oh, how he was loving this! The big ship started to move faster. The blue dolphin tried, but he could not keep up with it. He held his head above the water and watched the ship sail away with the smiling boys and girls.
The next day, the dolphin kept thinking about the smiling children. He would love to see them again, so he could jump and swim to hear them clap. He looked for the ship all day long, but it didn´t appear. He did this the next day, too, and the next, and the next, but there was no sign of the ship. Finally he gave up and returned to his swimming and playing. A few weeks later, in the middle of his morning swim, the blue dolphin heard a familiar sound... TOOOOOOOT! He jumped out of the water, and in the distance he saw it.... a big beautiful ship sailing right at him....
