Ocean tales. Max Shaldon

right Spark, the flounder shouted happily. Before it only today realized, that it is there is not one, and that the small curious child can call on the help of adults – rather swim in the Rainbow Reef and bring the help!

      And the baby swiftly swam into the city, already shouting from the bushes: “I ‘ll be back soon, don’t worry!”.

      When Spark sailed in the town, the first one he saw was a flock of dolphins, who were returning from the school grounds. Guys often lingered on her after lessons and played in a ball, catch up and other various games. Among dolphins Spark saw and brothers – bullies Bip and Bop, which often fell into the unpleasant situation of and his love for different kinds of pranks. And this is not surprising, because their parents all the time spend on the job! They are speak: “To feed a big family, we have to work since morning till evening” – justified by parents Bip and Bop, – “to study for them doesn’t cost any forces any time”.

      Dolphins, like usually, played in one of their favorite games, when they heard the cry of the small clown:

      – Guys, guys, help!

      – What, Spark, happened? May be he frightened by his own shadow? – cheerfully asked Bip. And all dolphins loudly laughed.

      – Or is the Giant Octopus chasing you? – added Bop, -you do not be afraid, this little thing, like you, he simply did not notice! – and the dolphins laughed together again.

      – At this time all seriously! Aunt Flounder got in trouble!

      – It must be the same! – Bip grinned, – today she was ahead of us! And all the dolphins cackled together!

      – Auntie Flounder was crushed by a large stone!

      – Yeah, and flattened! – Bop laughed and everyone laughed again. All know, that the sole is flat fish and a joke has turned out of success.

      – Why are you laughing, her tail is crushed, she suffers there, – squealed the little clown.

      Here dolphins understood, that the matter something serious, stop laughing, face them become thoughtful and focused.

      – Where is it? – I asked someone of the dolphins – There, in a pile of stones, that in the forest of algae.

      – Let’s go! The dolphins shouted and rushed to the aid of the flounder.

      When they arrived to that place, where flounder was crushed by stone, dolphins saw, that flat fish is without strength and on the tail of her lies a huge boulder.

      – Yes, indeed! – said one of the dolphins on behalf of Husky – but, no, because I’m from you the most powerful, is now I “ll move this stones! He rested his nose on a stone and quickly – quickly, began to wave his tail and fins. But, how far about it or puffed, as he neither puffed up – nothing in it is not turned. Stone does not move either to the millimeter.

      – Give me a chance. Now I will try, – said the dolphin on behalf of the Fatty. He was even and weaker than a Husky, but really not much, but it was much bigger than him and all the other dolphins in the pack. He sure as well rested in stone nose and have it, exactly as the same, nothing has not happened.

      – Come in bulk together, – proposed Husky – as well! And he tried to push the stone, but it is so, and remained standing on the same spot, and more specifically on the tail Auntie Flounder.

      – What should we do? Us so much, but together we are not able to swim to the rock, to push it – indignant Husky. And indeed, though the stone was great, but all together push it didn’t not seem possible, because the push it needed was only back, but with one side of the stone was that most stack, from which he fell. Enough space only a mighty man, so Fatty.

      – I came up with, – exclaimed Spark, – we will push each other!

      – What? How is it? How can this help? – did not understand the dolphins.

      – First in the stone rests on the nose Fatty, and he in the back, at the top fin, rests Husky, then Bip rests in the back of a mighty man, and Bop to the back of Bip. And so is everyone else. And I ‘ll try to help Auntie to slip out from under the stone.

      – The idea, as always, is a great kid! – Bip said.

      – Only you need to push at the same time, all together on the count of one, two, three! – said the little clown, not even noticing the praise.

      – Come on guys! Live up, let ‘s build! – said Husky, – Fatty, you are the first, I follow you!

      – Then I, -Bip said.

      – And then me, – Bop said, – and then everyone else! Hurry!

      And they lined up one behind the other, Fatty leaned his powerful nose in stone, Husky buried him in the back, and so did each dolphin. They froze in anticipation.
