The main content of Sally the Dolphin is 50 words.

Most dolphins living in the ocean are generally more than two meters long and spindle-shaped, and their sharp kisses are as eye-catching as chanting. They have a triangular dorsal fin in the center of their backs, and their forelimbs have degenerated into fins. Their backs are blue-gray, their bellies are white, and their sides are khaki, so they are not easy to be found by their opponents from top to bottom and from left to right.

Dolphins have 40 or 50 sharp and small teeth on both sides of their jaws. They like to eat fish that swim in groups and often chase them around. Fishermen judge the position of fish according to the presence or absence of dolphins.

Dolphins like to live in groups, often dozens or even hundreds of them form a group, and when there is movement, they flock like an avalanche. They have the habit of tracking fishing boats and ships. In the stormy waves, they are agile one by one, sometimes jumping out of the sea, and sometimes quickly going deep into the bottom of the sea, showing incomparable courage and infinite joy.

Dolphins are smart and lively. At all times and in all countries, there are many stories about dolphins making friends with humans, and many examples of dolphins saving lives have also been recorded. Dolphins have become fishermen's fishing guides and protectors of victims at sea. Because of this, dolphins have become an important research object for scientists.

Scientists have found that dolphins have complex sonar systems, so they can accurately identify targets in the water. Many scientists are exploring the mystery of dolphin echolocation in order to improve and improve the artificial sonar system. People also use dolphins to salvage sunken ships and send messages to underwater workers. It is also used to spy on enemies and place explosives.

In addition, dolphins are the most lovely ornamental animals and have been trained. They can perform many wonderful programs. Dolphins are far more capable of learning and imitating than monkeys and orangutans. In the animal world, dolphins are so smart because their brains are particularly developed. According to the ratio of brain to weight, their brains are very big, second only to humans. It also has an incomparable skill: when sleeping, the two hemispheres can take turns to rest, so dolphins struggle with the wind and waves all day and never get tired.

It is precisely because dolphins have such characteristics. This is how people love it and value it.

What I want to tell here is the story of a little dolphin.

In the port of Charleston on the east coast of the United States, there is an oceanographic research institute affiliated to the navy. There is a dolphin over three years old in the institute. It looks cuter and more beautiful than ordinary dolphins. The researchers named it Sally.

Sally is so clever that she can learn the movements taught by the coach almost as soon as she learns them. It can understand the instructions given by the trainer as soon as it listens. Trainers usually think it is human, not dolphin. But soon, the trainer found that Sally was a character who didn't like being a soldier. It refuses to wear steel rings to carry instruments; Even more reluctant to touch equipment that smells like explosives. It doesn't follow the instructions of the trainer. If punished, it will go on a hunger strike.

Ladies and gentlemen of the institute, I really like this little dolphin. They are worried that this will force it to death. Well, everyone has his own ideas, so should dolphins. So, they reluctantly let it go, let it return to the sea and live the free life they want.

Sally swam to the sea, but she felt very lonely. Over the years, it has been used to interacting with human beings, but it is not used to those tedious trainings. It doesn't want to stay in the ocean, it wants to go back to where people live. So it swam along the bay to the mouth of a big river. Go ahead from the estuary and swim aimlessly along a small river.

This morning, on the calendar used by human beings, it was marked as19765438+May 8, 0. Sally the Dolphin swims to a riverside pier. There is a boat parked here. It judges that there is a family here. It wants to see what this family is like. How far is the house from the dock? Out of curiosity, it put its flat pointed mouth out of the water and turned its small round eyes to look around.

What does it see? It saw a man. This is the hostess, Jane. With her back to the dock, she picked pods on the shore. She had no idea that an unexpected guest had come to her house.

In Sally's memory, this man is no different from those in white coats in the Institute of Oceanography. It is often associated with them. When it saw that the man ignored it, it took the initiative to say hello. It screamed hello.

This greeting frightened the hostess Joan. She turned her head and saw such a monster on the river. She let out a cry of fear, put her head in her hands and stumbled back to the house.

On entering the room, Joan breathlessly told her husband Frank and two daughters about a terrible scene on the river. Frank was dubious and ran to the river to find out.

The surface of the pier by the river is as flat as a mirror. Frank was wondering. Suddenly, with a loud noise, Sally poked her head out again. When Frank saw it, he was desperate to meet him: "Aha, dolphin! Lovely dolphin! " Like greeting a long-lost friend, he stood in the water without taking off his shoes and stretched out his arms as if to hug Sally. Sally couldn't stand this warm welcome and soon sank to the bottom. But it didn't swim far. I feel that this enthusiasm and friendship are harmless.

Frank told his daughter to go home and get a bucket of fish. The two daughters rushed home ecstatically, one on the left and the other on the right, carrying a fish bucket. Before their father reached out, they all fell into the river with a bang.

In the water, Sally can clearly see that these dull fish are gifts from the owner here. When you are hungry, open your mouth honestly and rudely and swallow it in one mouthful. He ate all the fish around him and didn't waste many. It shook its tail and jumped out of the water again, thanking its host and expressing its willingness to stay.

Frank, of course clap your hands. As if possessed, four people forgot to eat breakfast and stood in the water wearing shoes and socks. They waited for the dolphins to appear again.

Sally saw the legs of four people on the dock in the water. It is familiar with these sights. It seems to know that this row of legs is standing there just to watch it jump out of the water and make a wonderful performance. It has just been entertained and its spirit is in a state of excitement. It jumped out of the water with a brush and plunged into the water. It heard the cheers and exclamations of its owner. Encouraged, it jumped out of the water again, made a wonderful rotation and then sank into the water. At this time, it heard the applause and screams of the owners. So it jumped out of the water again. This time, in order to stand on the water and have a look at its owner, it desperately swept the river with its tail. Ah, it remembers: four people, just like it is in the Institute of Oceanography, there are four people following it all day.

Sally thinks the four people here are friendly to it, too. It decided to come here. It always shows its triangular dorsal fin on the water to show its determination to stay.

Frank went to work on the farm, and his two daughters also went to school, leaving only the hostess Joan at home.

Gene changed from fear to love for this little monster. She sat by the boat and watched it swim freely. She throws it small fish, shrimp or bread crumbs from time to time. She also talked to it like her own daughter, asking where it came from and where it was going ... Sally seemed fascinated. She often sticks her head out of the water, her eyes are shining brightly, and sometimes she wants to talk.

When Sally put her head out of the water, Joan found a very thin plastic card on the fin on her back. She picked it up curiously and looked at it. Unexpectedly, Sally sank into the water, and the small plastic card fell off and remained in Joan's hand. Joan looked at the sun, opened her eyes wide, and carefully identified it. I saw a row of numbers on it, plus the word "Sally". Now, Joan guessed the story of this dolphin, and she also knew its name was "Sally".

Gene doesn't want anyone to take Sally. She threw away the plastic card. When her husband and daughters came back in the evening, she only said that she would name the dolphin Sally, and never mentioned the number plate. Both husband and two daughters say "Sally" is a good name. They ran to the river and shouted in unison, "Sally! Sally! "

Sure enough, Sally heard the call, swam back from a distance and jumped out of the water again and again to pay tribute to the Franks.

Frank's two daughters cannot live without Sally. A mother understands her daughter's wishes. She moved the dinner to the boat so that her family could have dinner with Sally.

On Sunday, when his two daughters were at home, Frank asked them to help him build a house for Sally by the pier. The house was transformed from a wooden cage. It has a door that can be opened and closed. Sally is very clever. As soon as the wooden cage sank into the water, it knew it was its home. It can open and close the door with its mouth.

When it goes out to play, it often swims far away, but before long, it will return to the cage.

Sally has only been in Frank's house for more than a month, and she is getting closer and closer to Frank's two daughters. When two sisters learn to swim in the river, the river turns around them. Whenever they sink or can't swim, it puts its mouth against them and pushes them to the shore. Mr. and Mrs. Franks sat on the shore and watched, not worried at all.

A few days later, the two sisters learned to swim. Then Sally played a new trick with them.

It plays with two sisters in the river and often takes turns to let them ride on its back. It broke through the waves, allowing the two sisters to enjoy the happiness that only dolphin trainers can enjoy when performing at the Ocean Zoo.

Frank's family has a lovely little dolphin. The news spread like wildfire and people came to visit in an endless stream. Sally doesn't need Frank to call whenever someone comes. She only needs to look at a row of people on the shore and know how to perform and how long to perform. Sometimes, in order to let more people see its acting skills, it will jump from the other side of the river until there is no shadow on the shore.

1972 In April, a French marine expedition learned that Frank's family had such a clever dolphin, and specially brought a group of people to make a film for Sally. In just two or three days, Sally got to know divers and underwater photographers. Every morning, it meets everyone on time. Sometimes when the photographer comes a little late, he sticks his head out of the water and screams, as if blaming them for not being punctual.

When he reached the surface of the water, he grabbed the rubber boat with the expedition team members in front of his companions, and sometimes he swam forward quickly with his mouth against it. The most ridiculous thing is that its kindness often makes divers, underwater photographers and illuminators unable to work. Whenever divers dive, it swims desperately, dragging them out of the water, sometimes biting their clothes with its teeth, and sometimes letting divers climb ashore with its head and ass. It turned out that this lovely elf was worried that the diver would drown underwater.

A month later, the players went back, reluctantly, and some young men shed tears. Although Sally can't express her feelings of farewell, the Franks can see that Sally is very unhappy and often stays in the cage.

In order to amuse Sally, the Franks decided to take her on a trip to a nearby island.

Sally is very interested in this trip. When Frank's family sailed to the island by motorboat, it swam desperately beside the boat and never lagged behind. Frank is afraid that he will be exhausted. Sometimes he drives the motorboat very slowly.

Whenever this happens, Sally swims in the bow, then jumps out of the water and leans to show her energy. However, when the motorboat approached the island, Sally sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared. Frank stopped the motorboat. When it was getting dark, he didn't see it come back. The whole family took turns searching the sea with binoculars, but they didn't see its shadow.

Where's Sally? At this time, only Joan knew what was going on. She saw through a telescope that a seagoing ship was parked on the sea four or five kilometers away from them. In addition to the name of the ship, there is a row of numbers on the side of the ship.

That number is the same as the number on the plastic card hung on Sally. She observed the fishing boat carefully and saw those people in white coats at the bow were busy. She is convinced that this is a scientific ship for training dolphins. She was also sure that Sally had heard the call of her former companions and had gone to reunite with them. Dolphins like to live in groups. It has returned to its group and will never come back.

When Joan saw that her husband and daughters were still waiting for Sally, she had to sigh and tell them her findings and judgment. Hearing this, the daughters burst into tears.

Frank advised, "Come on, children. People who really love animals should put themselves in their shoes. Dolphins like the ocean, don't like rivers, dolphins like to live in groups, don't like living alone ... "

The eldest daughter cried and asked, "Then tell me, why did Sally stay in our house for so long?"

Joan said, "Not surprisingly, children and animals also need holidays. It has come to our home for the holidays, and now it is time to go back for the holidays? "

The youngest daughter sobbed and asked, "Will it come to our house for the holidays next time?"

Frank said happily, "Yes! I am sure that it is our festival now! "

Frank docked at the dock and rented a room. Let the whole family settle down. Although he pretended to be in high spirits and invited his wife and daughter to eat shrimp and watch the night scene, everyone was always bored. Without Sally, the whole family seems to have lost its soul, and no one is in the mood to go on holiday. The next day, Frank had to take them home in a motorboat.

On the third day after returning home, the children were still immersed in the grief of losing Sally. As soon as school was over, the two sisters just sat on the river bank, looking at the calm river and thinking back to the happy scene when they played with Sally.

They were just watching, when suddenly, a white light flashed near the water, which was the time for dolphins to backstroke. The two sisters were so surprised that they couldn't help opening their eyes. Before they stood up, "Hua-Hua-"Sally the dolphin jumped out of the water, shook her tail, shook her head and neck, and moved straight to the shore like a dance. Without taking off their clothes, the two sisters jumped into the water and hugged Sally tightly.

Sally came back, and Frank's house was full of laughter again. In order to have dinner with Sally, they eat three meals a day on a small motorboat.

After all, there is only one dolphin in this river, and dolphins like to live in groups. How lonely dolphins should be without partners. And people, after all, can't replace dolphins. Frank thought for a long time and had to announce a painful decision to the whole family: for Sally's happiness, she should be sent to a dolphin breeding center. There are more than 30 dolphins there. Although the number is small, Sally is there and finally has company.

Before telling his decision, Frank criticized many times that the biggest shortcoming of human beings is selfishness! He wants everyone to love animals, but not too selfish! His intention in saying this is obvious.

His wife Joan agreed, but the two daughters did not object, but made a request: let them visit Sally often.

The Franks covered Sally with fishing nets and sent her to the dolphin breeding center. The conditions here are very good, but Sally has been unhappy. She often can't eat, but just sinks to the bottom. It can be seen that it misses "home" and relatives. Obviously getting thinner every day. The management of the feeding center is at a loss. They had to inform Frank to get it back.

The Franks welcomed Sally back like a distinguished guest. As soon as it entered the estuary, it jumped out of the water, pranced and rolled, and was extremely happy. Two little girls jumped into the river and rode on its back, galloping on the grassland like a fine horse. ...

Frank looked at the jubilant dolphins and happy children and said to his wife deeply, "Let's give it more freedom!" "
