  Dr. Villeponce led them onto a walkway between two of the pools  and it was there that they paused to take in the incredible scene. There  were dolphins everywhere, engaged in a multitude of activities. The air  was alive with their high-pitched squeaks and the water below was teem-ing with activity. Several were clustered around a man in a wetsuit who  was tossing small fish into their open mouths. A few of the dolphins  looked to be doing nothing at all—they appeared torpid  47  as they floated  motionless near the surface.

  One dolphin surfaced near them and looked right at them. Alexa  was mesmerized by the dolphin’s face. It looked like it was smiling at her.  She was surprised at the flood of emotions she felt rising up in her. She  wanted to touch this charismatic  48  dolphin, to know it and to talk to it.

  47  Torpid: lacking in energy or vigor

  49  Potentate: one who has the power and position to rule over others; a monarch

  50  Supple: able to perform bending or twisting movements with ease and grace
