Minsu and the Brave Dolphin

Once upon a time, a poor boy named Minsu lived on the seashore. Every day, he collected beautiful shells. "Look, Mama!" he would say, showing his treasures. Minsu sold the shells at the market to help his family. One stormy day, he saw a small dolphin washed up on the shore. "Oh no! Come on, little friend!" Minsu said, rushing to help. He found a bucket and poured water over the dolphin, but no one came to help. Minsu was brave. He decided to drag the dolphin back to the sea, using all his strength.

From that day on, wonderful things happened. Every time Minsu came to the shore, the dolphin swam up to him, jumping joyfully. Minsu tossed shells to the dolphin like fun toys. They played together. But one day, while swimming, a big wave caught Minsu. "Help!" he shouted! No one heard him. Suddenly, the dolphin appeared, jumping through the frothy water. It dove under Minsu, pushed him to the surface, and carried him back to the shore. The villagers cheered! They learned that true friendship always returns with kindness.
