Questions 26 31 are based on the following passage.

I was walking my dog, Phoebe, along the beach when she startedbarking like crazy. Distracted, I looked up to see what washappening. To my astonishment I saw a large creature lying at thewaters edge about 100 metres away. I couldnt tell what it was, butits bulk and colour led me to guess it was a dead shark.

Phoebe was standing just a few metres away from it, barkingfuriously. I laughed at her bravery: what a big, tough blue heeler shewas, telling off a dead shark from a nice safe distance. But I soondiscovered it was no shark. As I approached, I could see theunmistakable tail of a dolphin, but couldnt quite believe its size. 10Inspecting it further I was surprised to see the blunt shape of its headseemed to be missing the characteristic dolphin nose. A little whale!It was roughly 2.5 metres long, but must have weighed between 200and 300 kilograms.

I looked it over, but saw no evidence of injury. Then, noticing what 15

might have been an eye on its blunt head, I leaned in for a closerlook. Suddenly it opened, blowing wet air in my face. Not an eye, buta vent. It was breathing!

Shocked and excited, my first thought was to rescue it. But how? Ididnt think I could move it by myself, but I was alone and more than 20three kilometres from town. There was no choice: I knew I had todo something.

I decided to try to roll it. What an effort! After much straining andgrunting (mine) and a fair bit of blowing (the whales), I managed toroll it a few times, timing my efforts as the waves rolled in. I was 25making great progress until a giant wave picked the whale up andpushed it back, despite my efforts to brace against it.

Dejected, I fell backwards underneath the whale and, as thewater receded, found myself in a sitting position with the baby whalein my lap. I couldnt move. When the next wave began to roll in, I 30could feel the panic rising inside me as the water quickly surged upmy chin, engulfing me. I took a deep breath and went under.

Luckily, the whale became buoyant and I was able to scramblefrom under it. Regaining my composure, I quickly turned it face-firstinto the oncoming waves. Thankfully, it worked and with each rising 35waves I slowly pushed the hapless creature further and further intodeeper water until it was floating. Then I pointed it out to sea.

But when the next wave came in, I was horrified to see it turnedsideways again and heading back to the shallows. Yelling my utterfrustration at the ocean, I positioned myself between the whale and 40the shore once more, in a vain effort to stop it beaching again.

Not sure what more I could do to help it, I simply held the poor,exhausted thing, talking to it over and over trying to reassure it.Then, suddenly, the whale flicked its tail.

So youre ready now, are you? I asked. Are you sure about 45

that? You know what happened last time.

Flick, flick: the tail moved again. I waited until we were betweenwaves so I could plant my feet firmly in the sand and then I gave it anenormous shove. It went under the next wave and surfaced a fewmetres away, slowly moving out to sea, its tail now helping to propel 50it along.

Yes! I cried, as I watched it move into deeper water. Then,slowly, it started to turn.

No, no! I shouted, as it started to face the shore again, no more

than 15 metres away. 55

Dont you dare come back here, I yelled. And, to my amazementand relief, it casually turned back around and moved further out tosea.

Exhausted but exultant, I made my way up the beach andwatched. The whale didnt seem to be in any immediate trouble so I 60decided to run home and grab my wetsuit, intending to drive backand make sure it didnt beach again. Arriving home, I peeled off my

wet clothes and donned my wetsuit.What the heck are you doing? my wife asked as I ran around

the house looking for my car keys.Saving a whale, I replied.
