Who’s the star? A dolphin named Winter. And   2   is not the only thing that she and Isabel have in common.

Winter lost her   3   when she was a baby. She got it caught in a trap used to   4__   crabs. Isabel, who had a similar experience to Winter, once had a   5   life.   6   , when she was 2 a tumor（肿瘤）on her foot   7   her leg.

Now, both Winter and Isabel   8   artificial limbs. In Isabel’s case, it’s an artificial leg and foot. In Winter’s case, it’s an artificial tail.
