The Whale Child

The Whale Child

Today I read a book about the whale child. The book is about a girl was born and she is the whale child. She becomes friends with the youngest whale in the family pack.

But then a storm happens and a ship arrived onto the sandy hollow. One day, the whale child and the whale swam further than they have even been before.

Then the find a big black boat. The people on the boat were whale hunters and they had spears at the tip of their boat. But then the great teeth drove deep into the youngest whale.

The the whale child swam away from the whale so the boat follows her. Because if she went to the whale the boat would follow her and find the other whales and they would die, and she didn’t want that to happen.

But then the story was over and it turns out that it was all a story that grandma was telling me. And if you wanted to know grandma is the whale child.
