for a young boy named dale a cruise with his family was going to be once in a lifetime experience as he wanted to see the whales migrate and the course of the cruise would let him see them. as the ship headed towards the whales the wind started to pick up and dales parents said to be careful as he spotted the whale pod approaching the wind sent him out of the boat and into the waves his parents immediately went to look for help and the staff called the coast guard but his body was never found as under the waves a whale saved his life and put a special piece of underwater grass on him this saved his life but made him a whale with no memory of being human or even his past life the parents could only notice a new whale in the pod moving with the migration and said dale would have liked seeing that not realising he was one of them.
