The baby dolphin’s performance began. The audience was incredibly understanding of the baby dolphin as it was still young. It was not required to perform any complex maneuvers and only had to warm up the scene.
However, the baby dolphin seemed incredibly eager because of the triplets’ presence today. The triplets and the plump boy stood in a row, waiting for the baby dolphin’s first performance.
“Kids, be prepared! The baby dolphin will glide past you quickly!” the keeper told them. He then made a hand signal, and the baby dolphin immediately responded by swimming away from the children. It had to swim further in order to gain greater speed and power to be able to slide its body on the shore.
“All the best, baby dolphin!” Estella said with a beaming smile as she waved her hands enthusiastically, wishing the baby dolphin good luck.
Archie and Benny had positioned themselves on either side of Estella, with Archie standing at the front and Benny at the back. Archie was the first in line, followed by Estella and then Benny. Benny turned around to take a look at the self- satisfied, overweight boy standing behind them.
“What are you looking at, stupid boy?” The plump boy sneered. The keeper gave a hand signal and the baby dolphin reacted with a loud, joyous shout. With a determined vigor, it began swimming energetically across the pool.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh….
A few seconds later, the baby dolphin burst out of the water, heading to the kids. After gracefully maneuvering past Archie’s right side, the animal swiftly changed direction, and with equal agility, veered past Estella’s left.
Its agile movements continued as it gracefully turned once more, effortlessly gliding past Benny’s right side. Its speed was surprisingly fast. The audience was pleasantly surprised when it exceeded their expectations. The crowd couldn’t help but be impressed and soon broke into wild applause.
Finally, the baby dolphin adjusted its body to glide past the overweight boy’s left. However, the boy’s gaze turned cold as he suddenly shifted, ready to face the baby dolphin head-on. Everyone blanched in horror at the sight, as it meant that the baby dolphin would directly hit the plump boy.
If it was another child, everyone would worry that the kid would get hurt. Nevertheless, the plump boy seemed to weigh about eighty pounds, which was a typical weight for an adult.
The baby dolphin weighed around thirty to forty pounds, so it would definitely get hurt in the collision. Suddenly, Archie spun on his heels and pounced onto the overweight child at lightning speed.
Shocked, Estella shut her eyes, not daring to watch the scene. The baby dolphin’s parents suddenly grew restless and swam across the pool rapidly, intending to save their child.
“Archie!” Roxanne’s body trembled in fear when she realized what Archie intended to do. Lucian reacted quickly and decisively by leaping across the railing. In a split second, Archie’s body collided with the boy. The baby dolphin glided past, narrowly missing them.
Fortunately, it didn’t collide with the humans. The plump boy stumbled and crashed to the ground. At the same time, the baby dolphin’s parents arrived by the side of the pool and leaped into the air, aiming for the overweight boy.
Lucian acted swiftly, snatching Archie up in his arms before the latter had the chance to fall to the ground. The keeper was initially stunned, but he quickly regained his composure and reprimanded the adult dolphins sternly so they wouldn’t harm the plump boy.
Everything happened in a split second, and the audience was shocked senseless. Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief when she realized Archie was safe and sound. She was so nervous earlier that she had forgotten to breathe.
