Dolphins




Whenever we visit Florida we see dolphins, lots of them. However, we have never seen them as close as in Naples, Florida a few days ago. Husband and I were walking along the pier, all the way to the end where fishermen were waiting for bites. In the distance we could see a mother dolphin with her young one when suddenly a fisherman started reeling in a fish as fast as he could. Just when we could see the fish dangling on the hook, a huge dolphin jumped out of the water, high in the air, trying to snatch the fish. "Do the dophins always try to steal your catch?" I asked the fisherman, who was clearly out of breath. "Every single time," he answered. "And most of the time they succeed."
