he said:
– Friends,
I come from exploring the limits of our territory and I bring a horrible
news There is a big black spot in the sea that very soon, if the
winds do not change, it will reach here in two days.

They all looked at each other worried about the news. They should do something immediately.
Pepe,
the seahorse, had a great friend, a hermit crab called himself
Frank, with whom he often played hide and seek. That day instead of
play began to comment on the terrible news.

– What a shame - said Frank - I don't know what will happen to us, we will surely all die.
But the horse Pepet was more optimistic and answered him:
- Well,
it is not therefore, thanks to the Ballarí dolphin we found out in time. At least
we have two days before the stain gets here. We have to think about
some solution

they were thinking in silence they heard someone crying and, looking for where
came that cry, they met the Oyster Shell.

-What is wrong with you, Closcadura, why are you crying? - they asked him.
- I will die soon, there is no solution for me because I cannot move as fast as you - he answered.
The horse Pepet encouraged her:
-Don't worry, Closcadura, we'll help you, I'm sure we'll think of something.

Pepet thought that all problems have a solution, so when
a problem appeared, he began to think instead of despairing, like
others did On the other hand, old Frank, faced with a problem, thought
that there was no solution and he was sinking into despair.

little horse Pepet decided to take a walk to think better and went
to discover that some cried believing they could do nothing and others
they thought to find solutions, just like him. Without realizing it he leaves
quite far from his area and he heard someone calling him.

Pepet, what are you doing here? You are very far from your home.
It was the dolphin Ballarí, who had given them the fatal news.
-I'm thinking. I want to find some solution to be able to leave before the black spot arrives -he replied-
-But Pepet, you know that some animals and plants can't leave where they are, it would take them a long time to move.
The horse Pepet did not give up and kept thinking while he was carried away by the rhythm of the water.
- You're very big, Ballarí dolphin, and I'm very small and I can't carry anyone on top of me, but you can.
The dolphin listened intently as he thought that maybe it was a good idea.
- The Oyster
Shellfish, Frank the Crab and the other animals and plants that can't
move they could get on top of you. And how you are very fast swimming for sure
that you could make many trips, and thus save many animals and plants.

dolphin smiled: yes, that was a good idea, and he would ask the others
dolphins and whales to do the same. Instantly, without waiting
moreover, he swam away to look for them.

Pepet and Ballarí returned very happy to tell their friends the news.
-Closcadura, Frank, the Ballarí dolphin will take us a long way from here before the black spot arrives!!
They all shouted with joy and clapped for the dolphin, who was very happy to be able to help.
In the
next day, while the sun was rising over the sea, a group of dolphins
and whales concentrated in the area and were charging everyone
animals and plants that could.

In the evening they were very tired from so much travel from here to there but satisfied for having saved their companions and friends.
Now
the horse Pepet and the dolphin Ballarí can be seen playing together in an area of
the ocean of clean and crystalline waters, and the conversing Shell oyster
with Frank the Crab remembering the story of that black spot that one
day threatened their lives.

the most curious of all is that the two end up laughing and repeating at the same time:
"When there is a problem there is always a solution". That was what
they learned that day and will never forget it.
