Answer: Through the story, I see that dolphins are animals with human-like qualities, emotions, they appreciate beauty and excellence, exemplified by the singing of the artist. At the same time, they are intelligent animals, knowing how to help when encountering artists in distress. With these admirable qualities, they deserve to be the best friends of humans at sea.
