请阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Every year, the whales(鲸鱼) stopped in our cove(小海湾) during their six-thousand-mile trip south from the Bering Sea. They swam right into the cove next to our town and stayed there for days. You could see them splashing(飞溅) their tails and looking at everyone on the beach.

People came from far away to see those huge and amazing creatures. The whales seemed to like the attention. They would dive and spout(喷) water almost as if they were performing for us. I couldn’t imagine feeling so comfortable with all those people watching me. Just the idea of performing made me freeze up like a block of ice.

I loved spending time at the cove when no one else was around. I felt too shy to sing in front of people, but the whales were a great audience! They swam and jumped in the cove while I sang. They seemed to like my songs, and I knew they would never let out my secret. I hadn’t told my family or friends about my songs. I wasn’t ready to share my music yet.

While I was walking along the rocks one day, I spotted an unusual shape in the water next to the beach. It was a whale! The whale wasn’t moving at all, and much of it was out of the water. I realized that it must have swum too close to the shore and gotten stuck. I knew I wasn’t big enough to push the whale out to deeper water. Still, I had to do something, so I turned and ran back down the beach for help.

I spotted my sister Rosa coming toward me. “Rosa!” I shouted loudly. “Quick, go home and get help ---- a whale is stuck!” Rosa hesitated for a second, then turned and ran toward home. I went back to keep watch. Soon, my mom and dad came rushing and I showed them where the whale was. “We need to get this whale back in the sea!” Dad said. “Tomas, you and Rosa keep the whale wet while we run and get help.” Rosa and I waded(涉水) into the water next to the whale and began to water it.

Even though Rosa and I were keeping it wet, the whale was trembling with fear. Watching its shaking body, I was on the verge of tears. Then, an idea took shape in my head. “I’ll sing to it!” I said to Rosa. “You sing?” Rosa asked, puzzled. Nodding my head, I tried to use my music to comfort the huge creature. “Sing louder, the whale is relaxing!” Rose exclaimed. So I sang louder. The whale did seem more relaxed. It wasn’t trembling as much anymore. (70 words)

I continued singing to keep the whale calm and a while later, the entire town came. They immediately joined us in watering the whale, though they seemed to be astonished at my singing aloud. At last, the tide reached its highest point and our whale struggled out into the sea with everyone’s push. Breathing a sigh of relief, everyone began to clap and cheer, not only for the whale’s safety but also for my music. I had thought it would be rather embarrassing to share my song, but now it made me feel good and great. (80 words)
