The big blue
A blue whale has the whole ocean as its playground.
But what if it were a playground itself?
It is so long and wide you could run and jump and flip.
You could slide down its tail and fly in the air above its blowhole!
But you would have to jump off when it dived deep down beneath the waves.
大藍(lán)
藍(lán)鯨把整個(gè)海洋當(dāng)成它的游樂場。
但是假如它自己就是一個(gè)游樂場呢？
它是如此之長，如此之寬，你能在上面跑啊，跳啊，翻滾啊。
你能滑到它的尾巴下，或是被它的氣門（呼吸孔）沖飛到天上！
但是當(dāng)它潛入水深處，卷起波濤時(shí)，你可得趕緊跳下來！
