Good Morning India!

It is generally considered that the Cruel Animals shall only kill to
satisfy their hunger. But here is a story which happened in Faralon
Islands, which goes to show to be Grateful is not the sole property
of Humans and the Almighty has shown his abundant mercy everywhere
even in a Killer Whale. Just read.

The Whale

A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab
traps & lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps
that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards
of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her
mouth.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the
Golden Gate) & radioed for help.
Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived & determined that she was
so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in & untangle her; a
verydangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives & 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, nudged
them, & pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly
beautifulexperience of their lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following
him the whole time, & he will never be the same.
May you, & all those you love,
be fortunate to be surrounded by people
who will help you get untangled
from the things that are binding you.
And, may you always know the joy
of giving and receiving gratitude.
