NAME:
The whale is the biggest animal on the planet. And, with all its size, it can unintentionally become a threat to other animals, if you don't take some care.
The little whale was a young man with a desire to play, swim and jump. She was full of life and always very willing.
– Which fly bit you? asked the other inhabitants of the sea.
Nobody knew the answer. But the truth was that the little whale was causing serious problems for the fishermen.
They came out innocently in their little boats and suddenly found themselves with a wall of waves, raised by her play. And so, they almost always foundered.
More than one fisherman had drowned and the little whale continued to play near the shore, oblivious to the misfortunes it caused.
– Baleiazinha, I'm very happy seeing you feel so happy and playful. But because she is reckless, she has already caused some misfortunes for the fishermen, the dolphin told her.
– Oh! I'm very sorry, dolphin friend! She exclaimed the little whale, very sorry. Tell me what can I do to remedy the harm I've caused? she asked.
'Just play at sea, far from the coast,' he advised her.
The little whale had a kind heart. Eager to do good to others and avoid further harm to the fishermen, she headed for the high seas. From that day onwards, the misfortunes of the poor fishermen ended. And the little whale can continue to delight the inhabitants of the sea without harming the inhabitants of the land.
