Joe, Nina and the Whale

One day, Joe and Nina went fishing and caught a tiny whale which they took home in a jam jar. They fed it on ants' eggs and it was soon so big that they had to move it to a fish tank. When it got bigger still, it lived in the bath. Nobody could have a bath while the whale lived in it! Joe and Nina didn't mind but Mummy and Daddy grumbled a bit.

When the whale grew too big for the bath, Joe and Nina had to carry him to the river and let him swim away to the sea where he would have enough room.

Joe and Nina were sad to say goodbye to the whale, but, every year, when they are on their holidays, they walk to the end of the pier and the whale swims around below them.
