A Tale of Two Dolphins
A Tale of Two Dolphins
Two dolphins swam merrily over to the wharf
One was named Silly and the other was named Sally
Silly told Sally that if she could outswim her to the booey
That she would give her half of her next big catch
Sally accepted her challenged and said, “Game on!”
Sally swam as fast as she could and began to lose steam as she appropached
the booey
Silly felt sorry for her and went to offer her aid
As soon as Silly got close enough to Sally
Sally bolted out with a last minute Hail Mary
Swimming like a Russian sub in the middle of the Arctic Sea
Well, we all know that Sally took advantage of Silly
And dishonestly won her race
Silly was the true hero in the end!
What is the moral of this story you ask?
There are three…
If a dolphin challenges you to a “swim off “quickly decline the offer
They are not always as innocent as they seem
Secondly, if you see a fatigued dolphin at the end of the wharf near a booey
Don’t fall for her schemes
And thirdly, in running the race of life
Always be honest and come clean
Because as soon as Sally was bragging about her victory
A big whale came and swallowed her whole!
End of this fish tale story!
