If you come from a poor family and couldn’t go to a good school, could one book change your life? It did for Srinivasa, a bright young Indian boy. When he was 15 years old, he found a book about math. It was a book with 6,000 very difficult problems. While his friends played football on the road in front of his house, he worked out the answers to these problems. He answered them all by himself – without any help from anyone else. Then he thought of new problems and answered them too. Soon he was better at math than all of his teachers. A year later, Srinivasa was invited to study at university, even though he was really too young. However, he failed most of his exams. Why? Because he was only interested in math and didn’t care enough about his other subjects. He wrote about his ideas and sent his work to magazines. A British mathematician read his work and started writing letters to him. Later, he invited Srinivasa to go to England to study and work. In England, people didn’t care whether he was good at other subjects or not. By the time he was 30. Srinivasa, a poor boy who liked math better than playing football, had become one of the world’s most famous mathematicians.

Dolphins are not fish. They are animals. They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain is as big as men’s and they have a long life-at least 20 or 30 years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to find their way around. They also use those sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw-the lower part of the mouth.

It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the same of The Penguin shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat The Penguin.

Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.
