STORYTIME: The Blue Dolphin -- FINAL PART

.. The blue dolphin struggled to get away from the net, but it was impossible. Finally he gave up as he was pulled from the water. He was placed in a huge tank, filled with fresh water. The blue dolphin was sad, he never got to see the little girl again, and now he was probably going to be taken away for good. The blue dolphin cried himself to sleep. It was day when he woke up and he found himself in a large pool. Where was he? He could see something in the distance. He swam towards it ... it was another dolphin! They began to swim and play together and soon, two more dolphins showed up. He had new friends! Suddenly he heard lots of voices. He jumped out of the water to see where they were coming from. A group of people had gathered around the pool to greet them. The blue dolphin jumped and twirled together with his new friends. The crowd cheered and clapped. He was so happy! He jumped once more and as he came down he saw a familiar face in the crowd. He couldn´t believe what he saw and he jumped out once more just to be sure. Right there, smiling at him, was the little girl from the ship.
