The Two Whales

Once upon a time there were two whales. They were happy. One of the whales was called Jake and the other was called Spotty. Jake was enormous and grey. Spotty was small and blue with white spots. They lived in a sunken ship in the middle of the North Sea. The ship was old and rusty and the friends liked to have swimming races around the outside.

One day a naughty shark with sharp teeth and the size of a car, came along. The shark crashed into the side of the ship and broke the ship up. A baby shark came along and saw a bit of the whale's fin and bit it off. The baby shark's mum, called Kita, came and took him home to have some food, but the baby shark wasn't hungry because his belly was full of whale fin. The baby shark had a tummy ache and he was sick all over his bed. Mummy shark tried to make him feel better but he was sick again and the fin came out. Mummy shark said "you shouldn't have been eating whale fin. You know it makes you sick". Mummy shark took the little shark to apologise to the whale and they gave him back his fin. Jake used bandages to attach his fin and said "Thank you for apologising".

Baby and Mummy shark went home and Baby went to bed because he was naughty for doing the wrong thing to the whale. The next day, it was all forgotten.
