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! Written by Gwendolen Rix 7-10-14 Dedicated to my friend Seho who loves dolphins! :)
