One summer I was with some friends in my boat on the Mediterranean Sea. The weather was sunny and hot and it wasn t windy. My friends, Jan and Alex, were in the water hoping to see some dolphins, but for a long time there weren t any animals near. Suddenly a group of whales appeared next to the boat. There were four adults and three babies. My friends were frightened because the whales were very near them but the whales weren t aggressive - they were very calm. One of the baby whales was hurt. There was a fishing hook in its back. It was horrible. The whales looked at me and my friends - I think they were asking for help. Alex was very near the baby and he pulled out the hook.
