The protagonist of this story is not a human, but another highly intelligent mammal, the dolphin.
Although it is a fairy tale, a large part of the story is also based on scientific fact.
Dolphins, like humans, do not have an estrus period. They are mostly in love, not breeding.
The author was lucky enough to see dolphins three times in the wild. To be more precise, there were three dolphin families.
The dolphins followed our boat and jumped out of the water in a performative manner amidst the applause and cheers of the people on the boat.
Each encounter deepened my understanding that this animal is as curious about humans as humans are about them.
