Last summer, Hilda worked as a volunteer with dolphin trainers at a sea life park. Her job was to make sure the tanks were free of any items so that the trainers could train the dolphins to fetch specific items. However, one day after cleaning, one of the dolphins, Maya, presented Hilda with a candy wrapper from the tank. When Katherine, the trainer, saw this, she blamed Hilda for her carelessness. Upset but not discouraged by this event, Hilda decided to do some spying on Maya.
The next morning, Hilda arrived at the park early. She put on her scuba gear (水下呼吸器) and jumped into the tank for her usual, underwater sweep. Finding nothing in the tank, she climbed out of the water just in time to see Katherine jumping in on the other side. After what happened yesterday, Hilda knew what she was doing. She watched as Katherine performed her underwater search, but Hilda wasn’t surprised when she surfaced empty-handed.
During the tank sweeps, Maya had been swimming playfully, but now the dolphin stopped suddenly and swam to the back part of the tank where the filter (过滤) box was located. She stuck her nose down behind the box and then swam away. What was Maya doing back there? Hilda wondered. She jumped back into the water and swam over to take a look behind the box, and her question was answered. Hilda then swam across the tank following Maya’s path and emerged from the water to find Katherine removing her scuba gear. As Katherine turned around, her mouth dropped open. There was Maya at the edge of the tank with a comb (梳子) in her mouth waiting for her treat.
“Maya! Where did you get that?” demanded Katherine, taking the comb and throwing her a fish. “I know where she got it,” declared Hilda climbing out of the tank with a handful of items still wet from their watery, resting place. “What’s all this?” Katherine asked, obviously confused.
Paragraph 1:
“This is Maya’s secret,” Hilda said with a big smile. The truth of the matter，Hilda continued，is that Maya has been secretly collecting items from the tank，hiding them near the filter in the back of the tank. When you train her，she will give you some items so that she can get treats from you. “Really? How do you know that?” Katherine asked in surprise. Hilda laughed and replied，“It took me a long time to discover this secret，too. It's not easy to follow Maya.”
Paragraph 2:
Now Katherine realised what had been going on. Katherine thought to herself，this is really a clever dolphin. And she said to Hilda，“Well，Maya loves treats，so we'll work together，and you'll secretly help her collect a few things and put them in the filter at the back of the tank. I'll give her treats，the number of which I can increase.” Hilda replied，“Good idea，let's do it.” From then on，the sea life park is full of warmth and harmony. Maya's performance in front of the audience is getting better and better.
