NoNo kept on swimming, even though dark clouds were building
overhead. Soon a heavy rain began to fall. The waves grew higher and
higher. NoNo was so tired he could hardly lift a flipper, but still he
kept on swimming.
Then all of a sudden a familiar shape appeared in the water. It was
Wise Whale.“NoNo, what are you doing way out here in this storm?” asked
Wise Whale.
“1 guess I got lost,” was all that NoNo said. He did not want to say
he was running away, and he was afraid to tell the truth, Uncle Seal
had said that what happened was a secret.
“it’s lucky I found you. A little seal like you should not be out
swimming in a bad storm,” said Wise Whale, and she held NoNo close
beside her as she carried him home.When NoNo reached the island, he saw his mother and father and
Uncle Seal on the rocks waiting for him.
“Mama! Papa! You are back!" cried NoNo. He was so happy to see
them. He did not look at Uncle Seal.
“We have been so worried,” said Mama.
“Where were you?" asked Papa.
