am a white Dolphin.
I live in the South China Sea in the Pearl River Delta.
My grandma told me that she used to swim across the blue sea, which reflected the golden sunrays of the
azure sky. The water was blue and crystal clear, and grandma could see the ocean floor from the surface.
Grandma was little that time. Far beyond the coastline there were farmlands, village huts and dense emerald
trees. Small fishing boats sailed through the turquoise sea, carrying the harvest of a variety of fish and sea
creatures.This view has changed now.
For some reason the water turned grey. The fresh brine becomes bitter and poisonous. It doesn't taste good.
The fishermen don’t want to fish anymore because there are not many fish.They still come out to the sea but
they have become tour guides. They bring along children and adults to come and search for me. People like
to take pictures of me gliding through the waves and darting up into the air.There are skyscrapers lining up
along the coast.There is a strange forest full of tall buildings on the shore.
Grandma sighed,“Will I be able to enjoy the fresh water again?”

My second wish is that my family will be safe.
