Jane lived near the sea with her family. She was always wearing a pendant with a picture of a
dolphin. Her grandmother knew that Jane liked dolphins very much, so she gave it to Jane. When Jane
saw the pendant, she always remembered her grandmother.
When Jane went swimming in the sea, she could see many dolphins. They were jumping from the
water. One evening, she said to her father.
“Father, I want to swim better. Please teach me. ”
“Why? You can swim well, ”her father said.
“No, Father. I see dolphins in the sea every day. But they are too far from me. I want to swim
with them, but I can’t, ”she said.
“OK, ”her father said.
Jane practiced swimming very hard with her father. A few months later, she could swim to the
dolphins and she enjoyed playing with them. The dolphins also looked very happy with her.
One day, when she was swimming, a sad thing happened to her.
“Oh, where is my pendant? What should I do...?”she said. She lost her important pendant in the
sea. She felt very sad and didn’t go to the sea for a few days.
Jane’s father worried and said to her.
“Listen, Jane, I can understand your feelings. But you should go swimming again. If you don’t,
the dolphins will be very sad. Aren’t you their good friend?”But she didn’t go swimming.
One early morning, Jane heard strange sounds and got up. She got out of the house and found that
the sounds were coming from the sea. She ran to the sea. When she arrived there, she was very happy
to see several dolphins near the shore. She couldn’t believe it.
“Oh, did you come to see me? And you were calling me. I couldn’t come to see you, because I was
very sad. But now I am very happy to have good friends like you, ”she said and jumped into the sea.
She started to swim again. The next moment all the dolphins there jumped very high together.
