Hi, my name Madison Fortino and I am about to tell you about a story about a dolphin named Skip. It all started with my mom wanting to go to Florda. We were going to take a plain I hate plains so much so I brought mu stuffed animal dolphin. When we got I wanted to go right to the beach and look for dolphin ( if you can not tell my favorite animal is a dolphin . Oh my gosh (omg) iI saw the most butiful dolphin in the whole wide world ... I thought I was going to faint . The next day my mom was taking me to the Aquarium and of corce we were going to see the dolphins and right there in front of me was the same dolphin I saw in the ocean but my mom said " yay right", so I asked the person who worked there and he said " oh yes we got that dolphin yesterday because it was sick , i asked I f I could ride it and he said yes it was the best friend ever and in like the three minuts it started talking to me.  The dolphin asked me what my name was where I lived and what my favorite animal was. I awnserd all of them we had a blast and I asked my mom if we could buy it but she said NO!!! It had no were to stay , so i gave it the best day ever. T he owner came ovre to me and said that I had a few more minuts till they closed I had to go ... The next morning I grabed the money on the conter and I was on my way off to the aqueriom to see Skip, but when I got there he was not there and the qwner said that he was better and it was time for him to go home. I started to brek down crying, but insted I ran down to the beach as fast as I could , and sure anough there he was skipping away at the water I swam out there and said this is the last day i have with you and he took me back to shore. I told him I would never forget him and went to the condo. We had yo leave that day anyway. I will never forget my best friend Skip.
