It was a lovely sunny day in the Big Harbour. Theodore was excited, because his friend Walter Whale was coming to the Big Harbour to visit them!
"Any sign of him?" Theodore asked his best friend Hank.
"No- oh wait I see him!" Hank replied.
Walter came into the Big Harbour before long, and he was very happy to see his friends again.
With him were two larger whales.
"Who are your friends Walter?" Asked Hank.
Walter squeaked a response and Theodore burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Hank.
"They're his parents!" Exclaimed Theodore.
"Ohh..."
...
Later, Hank and Theodore introduced Walter's parents to Foduck, Emily, The Dispatcher and George.
Mary and Victor, as Walter's parents were known as, were very meek whales, but once they felt comfortable around the tugs, like their son, they were very friendly and the tugs soon became their friends.
They enjoyed themselves greatly- until Mary got a bit excited and blew water out of her blowhole- and it landed all over George!
George was livid.
"That silly whale!" he snapped "They don't know when to stop, do they!" He fumed.
Poor Mary slunk away, very upset, but Walter and Hank went after her.
"George!" Cried Emily indignantly. "That was horrid of you."
"Poor Mary." said Foduck.
"George it was an accident," said Theodore. "She didn't mean to spray you."
When Hank came back with Walter and Mary, who had been soothed, George, now calmed down, apologised for his rude behaviour.
Mary happily forgave him, and the pair became great friends.
