A Garden of Whales

Last night in my tub,
in my tub while I scrubbed,
I dreamed that I lived
in the sea with the Whales.
Magnificent Whales. Mysterious Whales.
Mystical, Musical, Mountainous Whales.

The narrator of this tale is a boy who knows that whales are endangered, magnificent creatures. He wants to do anything he can to save them and as he scrubs in his bathtub, he dreams up a plan to save the whales.

Children from all over the world also come in their bathtubs to save the whales, planting a garden of whales

Up from the sea rose the Ghosts of the Whales
Up from the gray empty sea rose the Whales --
Blue Whales and Humpbacks, Gray Whales and Fins --
they rained down their tears on our secret whale garden"

He knows this is a fantasy -- but the dreams of children are the roots of action.
