The Lost Dolphin

One day there was a dolphin, whose name was Princess
and when she went for a swim through the shallow waters, a person grabbed her with a big net and took her to the aquarium to live there.

Princess was scared.  She did not know where she was going.  But luckily there were other small dolphins she could play with.  There was only one boy and 12 girls.  The boy one was lonely and his name was called Max.  And he always sat in the corner.

One day Princess came up to Max and said, "Would you like to play with me?" 
"Sure", said Max.  So they played house and played and played until it was night time.  Then they went to bed.

In the morning, they had fish for breakfast.  It was Yummy, but Princess missed her sister and her brother and really missed her mother and her father.  But she forgot about it because she went straight for Max in the corner and they talked and talked and talked and talked.  Max finally came out of the corner to eat his breakfast.  He liked if very much.

Then they swam off together for the first time.  Then Princess and Max made a friendship and they had lunch and dinner and even a snack.  Soon it was night time again. 

Then a new dolphin came again.  Her name was Stoney  She was the only girl who had gray spots.  And she was very very shy.  So Max and Princess swam over to Stoney and she just swam away.  And Max and Princess swam after her.  Soon she was tired of racing.  Soon she gave up and swam to them.  And they introduced themselves.  Then they made a friendship.

Then a new boy dolphin, named Stripey, came along and swam away from them very very fast.  Soon he was tired of swimming fast.  Then he gave up and swam slowly to Princess and Max. Then they had a friendship.

Then one day Princess got a big scratch on her tail.  Then the Vet came to look at her tail to give her a shot.  And he saw the big scratch on her tail and put lots of bandages on it and told Princess she couldn't swim for a week.  She understood.  So she just swam very slowly to the corner and just stood there.  Then the Doctor told the animal theater they had to go over to the corner because Princess couldn't swim for a week.  Then he gave them a snack.  Then it was night time again.  She slept in the corner.

And then they lived happily ever after.

The End.
