41. For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the
chimpanzees. Now, however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than
these big apes.

Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways,
therefore, like a human being.

Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible
for man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be easy because dolphins
cannot hear the kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore,
he will have to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.

Dolphins are also very friendly toward man. They often follow ships. There are many
stories about dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.

Why is talking to Dolphin not easy? IF MAN WANTS TO TALK TO DLPHINS
