Mr.%20Hamster%20was%20spending%20his%20vacation%20on%20a%20lush,%20warm%20island.%20While%20he%20was%20not%20brave%20enough%20to%20go%20swimming,%20he%20enjoyed%20sitting%20on%20the%20soft%20sands%20of%20the%20beach%20and%20eating%20delicious%20sunflower%20seeds%20in%20the%20comfortable%20sea%20breeze.%20There%20couldn’t%20be%20a%20better%20way%20for%20a%20hamster%20to%20vacation!
As%20
he chewed a mouthful of seeds, he heard the sound of rushing water. It was loud like a water jet and it was coming from the sea. Mr. Hamster turned around suddenly and his eyes widened in surprise at the sight of a giant whale!
“Wow, what a huge and beautiful whale!” he exclaimed excitedly. It had surfaced near the sandy shore, blue and shining in the sun, as it spewed water from the hole at the top of its massive head.
%20Now,%20Mr.%20Hamster%20had%20been%20on%20many%20exciting%20adventures,%20had%20gotten%20into%20mischief%20and%20eaten%20one%20of%20every%20kind%20of%20cookie%20there%20was.%20Yet,%20as%20a%20hamster%20that%20lived%20in%20the%20city,%20even%20if%20the%20sunflower%20seeds%20he’d%20been%20enjoying%20a%20moment%20before%20were%20the%20most%20delicious%20in%20the%20entire%20world,%20nothing%20would%20ever%20compare%20to%20the%20sight%20of%20a%20real%20whale!
What%20a%20wonderful%20holiday,%20he%20thought.
Feeling%20brave,%20Mr.%20Hamster%20took%20in%20a%20deep%20breath%20and%20shouted%20as%20loudly%20as%20he%20could%20to%20the%20big,%20blue%20whale,“Heeeeellllll—looooooo!!!!”%20Sadly,%20as%20a%20hamster,%20even%20if%20considered%20big%20and%20tall%20among%20his%20own%20kind,%20his%20voice%20was%20still%20far%20too%20quiet—barely%20a%20squeak%20compared%20to%20the%20crashing%20waves%20of%20the%20ocean.
The%20whale%20hadn’t%20heard%20his%20greeting%20at%20all!%20How%20frustrating%20it%20was%20to%20be%20so%20tiny.
But%20Mr.%20Hamster%20was%20not%20a%20quitter.%20“I%20must%20come%20up%20with%20something,”%20he%20decided.
It%20took%20quite%20an%20effort%20for%20Mr.%20Hamster%20to%20climb%20to%20the%20top%20of%20a%20tall%20banana%20tree.%20He%20chewed%20through%20the%20stem%20of%20a%20wide%20leaf%20which%20he%20rolled%20up%20before%20holding%20it%20to%20his%20mouth.
“TO%20THE%20WHALE%20FAR%20AWAY----H—E—L—L--O-----!!”
His%20tiny%20voice%20was%20no%20longer%20tiny,%20but%20magnified%20by%20his%20new%20megaphone!
%20
The%20turtles%20near%20the%20shore%20heard%20his%20greeting%20and%20reported%20it%20to%20a%20nearby%20shoal%20of%20sardines.
The%20enthusiastic%20sardines%20then%20passed%20it%20on,%20all%20of%20them%20talking%20at%20once,%20to%20the%20knowledgeable%20mola%20mola.
The%20mola%20mola%20then%20told%20the%20officious%20squid%20who%20gossiped%20to%20the%20hitch-hiking%20shark%20sucker.
Finally,%20the%20shark%20sucker%20stuck%20himself%20to%20the%20whale%20and%20whispered%20clearly,%20
“Mr. Hamster from the shore would like to say ‘hello’ to you!”
As the sun began to sink below the horizon, Mr. Hamster was still standing on the sandy shore, focusing on the colors that were cast across the ocean’s surface. Suddenly, he saw the whale begin to move in the distance. In fact, it was turning around! It was swimming to the shore; closer and closer as its head began to lift from beneath the water! Even with the megaphone, Mr. Hamster would have never imagined that the biggest animal on earth could have heard his greeting.
“Hello! Nice to meet you,” the whale sang to him as it reached the shore.
Mr. Hamster was tickled pink! He closed his eyes and greeted the whale. “Nice to meet you as well,” he replied, and pressed the tiny tip of his nose to the whale’s huge forehead.
It was the perfect end to the
most perfect vacation a hamster could ever have.
