Emily writes a letter to Greenpeace asking for information on whales as she thinks she saw one in her pond and he might be hurt. Greenpeace kindly send her some information, but also suggest whales don't live in ponds. Emily writes back that putting salt in the pond made her whale smile and she thinks he might be lost. Greenpeace reply that salt isn't good for ponds and that whales are never lost in the ocean. Emily then writes that she thinks her whale might be a blue whale and wants to know what they eat. Greenpeace tell her what blue whales eat, but again tell her that blue whales are too big to live in a pond. And so on.
Enjoyed by our boys and stored in the attic for the next generation, enough said.
