Even earlier. the ancient city of Tans in Greece used coins which showed the figure ot a man riding a dolphin. Aristotle tells several similar stories and others which showed that early peoples living in cogstai waters olten used dol- phins to help with their fishizt No doubt subsequent scientists doubted the truth of Aristotle‘s observations. but recent investiga- tion has shown that dolphins all over the world have been known to help man in runny ways. showing an intelligence cooperation and asking nothing but friendship in return. Sometimes she would swim between the older children's legs, play with a coloured beach ball by tossing it out of the water. If any children were rough with her. she never attempted to bite but would merely swim away, smacking her tail flat on the water. She never leapt out of the water in one of her great exultant leaps characteristics of dolphins if bathen were near. instinctively seem- ing to know that it might be dangerous to them. By this time. the news of this wonderful dolphin had spread and every weekend would see from 1500 to 2000 campers and holidaymskers coming to Opononi to see Opo.

The most touching and delightful story of dolphins in our own time also comes from New Zealand, from a small country place called Opononl on the western side of the north island of New Zealand. Early in 1956, boat-owners in the area began to notice a young dolphin which stayed around the are: and followed their The difference between porpoises and dolphins puzzles some people; porpoises are smaller and have no "beak"; their teeth (if you ever get that close) are spade-shaped instead of being conical. They do not have the same personality or inclination to wards man as dolphins do. The dolphins which are most com- monly seen _ it shows such as at this year's sportsmen's Show - or around North America coasts. are either the Common Dolphins or Bottlenosed Dolphin. They vary from eleven to eight feet at full growth, 'depending on the type. I went to the Sportsmen's Show this year officially for the children's sake. but unofficially to see the dolphins and managed to talk to the people in charge of them for a few minutes, These dolphins had been caught off the north coast of Florida only three months earlier and were being used as a turn at several exhibitions, travelling from one place to another in a truck. lying on foam rubber sheeting and covered with blankets that were boats in and out of harbour. The young female dolphin was friendly and liked to have her back scratched with a mop or an oar. A: the summer came on, the dolphin came closer in shore and began to win near the bathers. but for a time would not allow anyone to touch it. Gradually. she allowed herself to be touched and played with and by Christmas of 1955. Opo was the children's pet. often letting small ones be put on her back for a short ride, allowed trusted friends to hold in her in their arms for photos and coming when called. (I have seen photos of all this.) Qhere was such an overflow of these friendly feelings that it seemed the crowds were composed of people wanting to be for- given for something - for the unkindness. perhaps, that humans generally do to animals in the wild." lit order to protect the chil- dren's beloved friend, the Na. government passed a law pro hibiting anyone from taking. or molesting any dolphin in that area. but only a day later. Opo ieas found dead. caught in a crevice in the harbour rocks. " if stranded by the outgoing tide. The mystery of her death was never solved, but the people brought Opo back to the beach and buried her, covering the grave with flowers.
