Dolphin

Lived in the corner of the sea somewhere.

He swam faster than his brothers or sisters.

His name was blue nose.

He swam away in the deep wet world.

He was scared, lonely and very sad.

The sea was full of wonderful creatures.

A medusa made of rainbow jelly.

A lobster who walked about like a robot.

Strange fish pulled by invisible threads.

Sea anemones, who looked like pink palm trees swaying in the wind.

Soon he came back to coastal waters where his brothers and sisters played.
He was happy once more and told of his many adventures and the wonderful creatures he met.
