DOLPHIN

(Taken From http://imagination-my.blogspot.com/2012/01/dolphin.html)

For many years people believed that the most clever animals after

man were the chimpanzees.

Now, however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even

cleverer than these big apes. Although dolphin lives in the sea it is not a

fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways, therefore, like a human being.

Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one

another. It may be impossible for man to learn how to talk to dolphins.

But this will not be easy because dolphins can’t hear the kind of sounds

man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have

to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can

understand.

Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow

ships. There are many stories about dolphins guiding ships through

difficult and dangerous waters.
