Kwanzaa Dolphins Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

The captain and his crew were going to throw out the rope in order to fasten Besty and pull Destiny. But Besty was noticeably fatigue; she was slowing down and taking too long catching each breath. As soon as the rope was in the waters, Kaka, the strongest of the dolphins, traded places with her sister Besty. And as the captain was fastening Kaka, a sound overwhelmingly came upon them. The frightening screech of a great white shark fell upon their ears, sending a chill up the rescuers' spines.

A great white was the most dangerous of all foes for the dolphins. Sharks have been known to bite a young dolphin in half with one grotesque snap. Immediately, they went on the lookout. Mama Dolphin turned a sharp right, circling away and back; Rafiki did the same to the left. Besty did a loop roll and flew out of the water, coming up behind and looking backward. Kaka dove upright and looked underneath.

Destiny was free floating, swinging from side to side. There was a relatively calm time, but now another episode was unfolding for Destiny’s passengers. It was still a long way to the port city of Heartdrop. Furthermore, only God knows if Destiny is going to survive this ordeal.
