The ship's guide had brought recording equipment aboard, and he lowered a microphone overboard in order to try to record whale songs.
The tourists gathered around the equipment speakers with their ears straining to catch the sounds from the sea.
"Woo-ru, Woo-ru, Woo-ru"
The people were enchanted with these mysterious sounds coming out
of the speaker. They had never heard such songs before-they seemed to be
music from another world.
Junior came close and listened intently. These songs were nothing like
the love songs of cats! Such beautiful songs coming from the whales must
mean that whales are very delicious to eat, he thought. His mouth watered.
The whale songs were so loud that Junior and the tourists thought that
a whale must be nearby. They again started to scan the horizon. Some of
the tourists were using binoculars, and the others shaded their eyes with
their hands to see better. Everyone was eagerly looking for whale blows.
Unfortunately, Junior could not see any signs of whales at all.
