Rachell:
Hey, how're you doing? It's good to see you coming home
safe and sound.
Irwin:
Hi, Rachell. Yeah,it was really close.
Rachell:
I believe so. But such an encounter of
being saved by dophins from sharks' bites is a
million dollar chance of a lifetime! Come on, tell
me the story again, I wanna hear it with my own ears.
Irwin:
I thought you've heard it on TV news for heaps of times.
Give me a break, please.
Rachell:
Pleeeeeeeeease.......tell me the story.....pleeeeeeese.
Irwin:
Ok,ok. Don't be such a drama queen.
I'll tell the story. Well, that day, Percy and I and other
3 mates from the diving club. We went to Port Lincoln for scuba
diving,
as you may have heard from the news. We'd been there
a couple of times before. So, we did everything as usual,
and we knew what we were doing.
Rachell:
Then what happend?!!!
Irwin:
Why are you so excited, my "queen"? You know what happened.
Rachell:Ok,
I'm cool. Keep going! Keep going!
Irwin:
Then, after we dived into the water, only about half an hour
later, we saw a pod of bottlenose
dolphins. I can't recall how many of them came
steaming at us.
Rachell:
Why didn't you just try to give way
to them?
Irwin:
Do I look like a dophin or any other marine creatures?
Or do you see any webs growing
between my fingers and toes?
Rachell:
No? Though your hair sometimes does look a lionfish.
Irwin:
Yeah, thanks for the praise. But it still didn't make me
swim faster than they did under the water.
Rachell:
Yeah, that's fair enough. Then, did you get hit by them?
Or did you try to catch one of them?
Irwin:
Yeah, I tried to catch one and ride on it's back. Like the
movie, "Whale Rider", I wanted to be the first
wild dolphin rider on the south hemisphere.
Rachell:
Haha, that'll be ludicrous though, you'll definitely hit
the headlines on newspapers, and the title could be "Maniac Young
Lad on Misfortunate
Dolphin"
Irwin:
And the title can be attached with a comic picture of me
lunatically riding on a dolphin
with a miserable look.
Rachell:
What a selling point, isn't it.
Irwin:
Yeah, absolutely it is. Can
we be serious now, back onto the track?
Rachell: Hey,
you started it by telling me riding on a dolphin. Anyway,
I'll read the news myself if I wanna know more details. HAHA!
Irwin:
Good on ya. Just want to make fun of me.
