How wonderful it would be to have a blue whale for a friend. You could go swimming together every night and watch him make the biggest splashes. You could find out all about him - how, although he's the world's biggest and heaviest animal, he has very sensitive skin and no teeth; how he can hold his breath underwater for an hour; how he can't smell or taste anything but his hearing is better than ours. You would grow to love him. Imagine, then, how sad you would be if that whale disappeared one night and never returned.


能與一頭藍鯨當朋友是多麼棒的事情，你可以每晚和牠一起游泳，看牠激起最壯觀的水花。你可以找到關於牠的一切——雖然是世界上最大、最重的動物，但是牠的皮膚非常敏感而且沒有牙齒；牠如何在水下憋氣一小時；牠聞不到也嚐不出味道，但是牠的聽力比我們好，你會漸漸喜歡牠。試想如果有天晚上這頭藍鯨消失了而且再也沒有回來，你會多麼難過。
