MAISIE AND THE DOLPHIN

This is the summary of a short story sent by Anush.

This is a short story, which is really lovely and interesting for children.
Maisie is a thirteen- year old girl. She lives in the Bahamas with her parents and her grandfather.
Her parents are vets and they work at the freeport animal hospital that is next to their house. The hospital is not doing well, so they have to think about selling their house and the hospital too.
On saturdays, Maisie and her grandfather often go out in his boat, which is called “The warm wind”. Once, Maisie sees something underwater, it was a piece of wood that had some letters on it: “m.n.a” when she went to tell her grandfather about that, they saw an expensive American boat and a dolphin. Suddenly they saw that the boat hit the animal, and after that he drove away. As soon as they could they took the dolphin to the freeport animal hospital and to their surprise they saw that the American boat was there at their house. When they got into the house the owner of the boat, Carl Flint, was talking with Maisie`s dad. Carl wanted to buy the house and the hospital in order to build a big hotel. Maisie`s dad was not sure of selling them, but they didn`t have enough money to keep the hospital open. So, he was going to think about selling them and then he would call Flint.
Some weeks later, Ben, the dolphin is taken back to the sea, because it`s better.
One day, while Maisie was swimming underwater she saw a box. She opened it and there she found thousands of gold coins.
The next day, she appeared in the newspaper.
Fortunately, they were not going to sell both buildings. And with the money that Maisie found they built a new hospital and live there happily.
