Julia and Dolphi- Story by 9 year old Bookosmian from Erode

One pleasant day,  I, Dolphi , the dolphin and my friend, Walrus were playing at the sea shore. We met a girl, her name was Sarah. She used to come walking with her dad. Sarah loved to play with me and walrus so we became best  friend buddies. A week later, Sarah came walking, her face down and smile  missing. Walrus and I asked her, “Why are you sad? Come let’s play.”

Sarah said, “Hmmm….There’s a pet contest at my school, Oakland Elementary and I have no pets at home. I don’t know what I’m going to do on that day in school.”

We got an idea!

“Aren’t we your lovable pets and your best  friend buddies too?”

Sarah was so happy and said, “You guys are so kind! Ok, now let’s get on with the contest. The contest is in a couple of months. So you both prepare the   tricks. I will prepare the props and costumes, sounds good?”

“Yay! Wonderful, I am so happy to be with you Sarah,” I said.

We practiced for the contest everyday at the sea shore.

“Ok, you both are performing very well and I am sure we’ll win the prize tomorrow,” said Sarah. “I will come tomorrow at 8 o’clock to pick you up for the contest.”

“Ok, Sarah, we will wait by the sea shore,” I said.

We were playing happily at the shore without knowing that we were going to  get captured. Suddenly, two hunters saw us playing. They came quietly and captured us and sold them at a ‘Sea School’

The next morning, Sarah went to pick us up but we were not there. She searched the whole sea shore. Sarah started to worry and went to the contest  alone. The contest started at the open auditorium, which had a big pool in the center. Everybody performed. At last Sarah’s name was called out.  She went next to the pool with a sad face. Suddenly, she heard voices calling her, “SARAH, SARAH, SARAH! ”

It was us! She was astonished to see us but without another word we started  our performance. We gave a mind blowing performance and also won the first  prize. Sarah was really happy but she held her excitement to know what had  happened. We understood her and answered her question, “Ok, we will tell you,” I said. “That day, when were practicing the tricks, suddenly we were  captured in a net by hunters. They left us at a Sea School. There, two caretakers came to see if we were valuable animals for the school. Luckily,  they were very kind. After we told them our story, they immediately said we will help  you get to your contest.”

Sarah hugged us tightly and said, “You both are the best friends in the world!” Suddenly a big wave of snow fell over us.

I opened my eyes and was looked around. I realized that it was only my dream and I was a dolphin in the dream. Slowly, I, Julia realized that after I went to SHEDD Aquarium with my family to see a dolphin show, I hadn’t stopped thinking about it. In my dreams, I had imagined my adventure as a Dolphin.  

My whole family laughed and my little brother rolled on the floor when they heard my story.
