dolphins swimming and playing in warm seas all over the world. Dolphins are
popular at theme parks, too. There are many stories about dolphins. Sometimes,
dolphins help ships in trouble. They also help people who are drowning.

them and sang every morning. But there was an ill-tempered old woman who didn’t

small and light. The sparrow asked them to choose only one. They chose the
small and that was the best choice. There were many rolls of silk and piles of
gold in it.
