Jim lives in a fishing village – but no-one goes fishing any more as all the
fish have gone. One day, Jim spots a dolphin beached on the sand. He runs to
get help, and everyone works together to return the dolphin to the water.
Afterwards, the dolphin stays in the harbour, playing with the swimmers – and
he even carries Jim on his back! Then the dolphin disappears, and everyone is
so sorrowful they take out a boat to find him. Suddenly the sea is boiling with
dolphins leaping out of the sea! They have come to stay – and the village comes
to life with tourists, mended boats, and dolphins!
