The Walrus and the Whale
By Joyce Furstenau
  

1     Walrus twitched his whiskers. He waved good-bye. He was off to sea for the summer. Walrus had been watching and waiting for the weather to bring the right currents for summer feeding.
 
2     Walrus wanted to eat when the sea worms and clams were plentiful. While out swimming, Walrus met a white whale. It was a beluga whale. They became friends and wandered the Bering Sea together that summer.
 
3     Walrus and Whale played water games. Walrus watched as Whale breached and spyhopped in the water. Walrus loved to play diving games even though Whale always won.
