"Fluke and the Flukes"
by
Erin

L
ong, long ago there were whales. They had very small, delicate tails. Many whales were dying because their tails came off, or got injured or split. One was called Fluke.

One day, boats were coming out. Fluke was so terrified that when he breeched his tail hit the water so hard it came off! As he was sinking he thought,
"This is the end, good-bye."
Suddenly, something said "I will give you and your whole kind strong, tough, rough tails. None of your kind will have wimpy tails that fall off."

If it will help us so much, it needs a name said Fluke. You will call them flukes said the voice. Then the voice dissapeared.

Then, all the whales had flukes. All the dead whales came back too! The moral of the story is never give up, there is always another chance in life.

The End
