　　The story happened on Thursday, Dec 15, 2005. A female humpback1 whale had become entangled2 in a spider3 web of crab traps and lines. The fifty-foot whale was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat4. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her tail, her torso5 and a line tugging6 in her mouth.
　　A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallone Islands(outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her -- a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around -- she thanked them. Some said it was the most incredibly7 beautiful experience of their lives.
　　The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
　　And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.
　　故事发生在2005年12月15日周四那一天。一头雌性驼背鲸被困在捕蟹网线里。身长50英尺的鲸鱼被数百磅的蜘蛛网一样的捕蟹网线缠住搁浅。鲸鱼的尾部和躯干被数百码的鱼线缠绕,她的嘴也被一根鱼线缠着。
　　一个渔民在位于法兰龙岛屿(金门桥外)东侧发现了鲸鱼,并用无线电寻求环境保护组织的帮助。几小时内,救援队到达现场,发现鲸鱼处境非常糟糕,唯一的方法是潜入水下把她解开。这个建议非常危险。只要鲸鱼尾轻轻一拍,就可以置救援人员于死地。
　　救援人员用弯刀工作了数个小时,最后使鲸鱼获救。潜水人员说,获救后,鲸鱼快乐地游了好几圈,回头轻轻地触摸每一个潜水员,向他们表示感谢。一些人说,这是他们一生中最美妙的经历。
　　曾经用刀割断鲸鱼嘴里的绳索的救援人员说,整个过程中鲸鱼的眼睛一直在追随着他。他的人生发生很大变化。
　　但愿你能一直懂得给予与得到回报的快乐。
