Thoughts of family

As the Whales tale finished, his Grandfather’s voice softened. Wishy gazed at each whale surrounding him, his thoughts turned to his family, his patient mother, the laughing children, his brother Wanaya.

Wishy understood, knowing why whales loved the sea was to remain a mystery to only a few.

Goodbye

Weeks later as the children played, Wanaya watched the whales. They all watched as a young whale continued to rise and splash in the water. Wanaya wondered how his brother was adjusting to life with their Grandfather. As Wishy lost sight of the shore and his brother, he crashed into the sea. That afternoon he was reminded again and again why whales love the sea.
