Everyone gathered on the banks to see the whale and thought it was cause for celebration. Kids shouted, ”I saw a whale!” But what they saw was in fact a terrible tragedy. The whale was starving, disoriented and looking for food. Its long skinny body looked like an empty sock. The poor thing did make it back out of the river, but was found washed up dead a few miles away on the beach.
