1.One day there was a fisherman fishing in the sea.

The fisherman was fishing alone on his small old

boat.That day was not a good day to fish. The fisherman got none of fish even he had been fishing for
several hours.The fisherman could not stay longer for fishing if there was no fish eating his bite.

He was bored and hungry. But he thought that he had no fish then he would have no money for his
family.He was confused and sad.He prayed to the God for his lucky.

He decided to fish for more few minutes and if he got none then he would back home soon but if he got
one then he would continue to fish.After praying, the fisherman changed his bait and fish one more
again.Not too long after he threw his hook, a fish bite his bait.

Finally, he got one.

After that he was so lucky, he got more and more fish easily. His boat was almost full of fish and he
could go home and sell the fish.On the way back, he saw something at the sea surface. It was like a buoy
moved round and round.The fisherman moved his boat closer to it to see clearly. It was like what he
thought, that thing is a net with the buoy at the surface.If the buoy was wobbling, there must be some
fish trapped at the net.But whose net was that?

There was no boat except that fisherman at that area. It meant that the net was a missing net.The
fisherman took that net to see what kind of fish which made the buoy wobbling. It was a dolphin
trapped at that net.What a pity dolphin.

It was a beautiful dolphin with white colour and it was rare kind of dolphin at that sea.The fisherman
took it free. The dolphin looked happy after that. It swam around the fisherman and jumped three times
before it finally leaved him.

A month after that, the fisherman met that white dolphin at the different situation.It was a cloudy day
and the fisherman was still in the middle of the sea.The storm would come soon and the fisherman in a
hurry prepared to back home. But it was too late, before the fisherman closed to the beach the storm
was coming.

The wave was so high and the fisherman’s boat was slowly sinkingThe fisherman could not do anything
else except trying to swim. But he was too old and he could not stand any longer.At that moment the
white dolphin came and saved the fisherman.The storm was over and the fisherman was already at the
beach.He did not remember how he was there but what he can remember was that the dolphin had
saved him.He looked at the middle of the sea and he saw the white dolphin jumped several times.

3.full moon is the lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is completely illuminated as seen from the
Earth. This occurs when the moon is in opposition to the Sun (when it is on the opposite side of the
Earth from the Sun; more precisely, when the ecliptic longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180
degrees).[1] This means that the hemisphere of the Moon that is facing the Earth (the near side) is
almost fully illuminated by the Sun and appears round (while the far side is almost completely
unilluminated).

Lunar eclipses can occur only at full moon, where the Moon’s orbit allows it to pass through the Earth’s
shadow. Lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the Moon usually passes above or below the
Earth’s shadow (which is mostly restricted to the ecliptic plane). Lunar eclipses can occur only when the
full moon occurs near the two nodes of the orbit, either the ascending or descending node. This causes
eclipses to only occur about every 6 months, and often 2 weeks before or after a solar eclipse at new
moon at the opposite node.

The time interval between similar lunar phases—the synodic month—averages about 29.53 days.
Therefore, in those lunar calendars in which each month begins on the new moon, the full moon falls on
either the 14th or 15th of the lunar month. Because calendar months have a whole number of days,
lunar months may be either 29 or 30 days long.
