name，they came over. they kissed her on her nose and carried her out to sea with them.“it feels like im flying！” cried lee，laughing with joy.lees family hadnt heard her laugh like that since before she became ill. in that hour with the dolphins，lee was strong and happy like she used to be.the next day lee was too weak to get out of bed.she told robert，“daddy，dont be sad for me.ill never be afraid again.the dolphins have made me understand that i have nothing to fear.”just before night fell，roberts little girl died in his arms. the next day they went out to scatter (撒) her ashes (骨灰) in the ocean among the dolphins as she wanted. and then，suddenly，through their tears，they saw nat and tursi jumping out of the water.as robert said，“they had come to take our daughter home.”24the
