THE PUPPET

A puppet fell into the sea and sank. A dolphin saw her falling and falling without offering any resistance. At first, the dolphin thought that he had to save her and brought her back to the surface. But the puppet did not move and sank again as soon as the dolphin released it. The dolphin raised her two or three times, until seeing that she always sank again, he thought that what the puppet wanted was to reach the bottom of the sea. So the dolphin took the puppet and dived to the bottom of the sea, he went so far to the bottom of the sea, that he stayed with the puppet, at the deepest bottom of the sea.
