A male whale and a female whale were swimming off the
coast of Japan
when they noticed a whaling ship. The male whale
recognized it as the
same ship that had harpooned his father many years
earlier.
He said to the female whale, "Lets both swim under the
ship and blow
all our air out our air holes at the same time and it
should cause the
ship to turn over and sink."
They tried it and sure enough, the ship turned over
and quickly sank.
Soon, however, the whales realized the sailors were
swimming to the
safety of the shore.
The male whale was enraged that they were going to get
away and told
the female, "Lets swim after them and gobble them up
before they reach
the shore."
At this point, he realized the female was becoming
reluctant to
follow him.
"Look", she said, "I went along with the blow job, but
I absolutely
refuse to swallow the seamen."
