One day Ahmed decided that he wanted to go on holiday with his Mummy, Daddy and his pet Beaver, Dave. So he went up to his mum and he asked "can we go on holiday?" His mum tried to think of a reason why not but it was near his birthday and he had just got over Ebola so she thought he deserved a treat. His Mummy said, "Yes Ahmed, as it's your birthday soon, and you have been a brave boy, we can go."

"Woopee!" Cried Ahmed in an excited, high pitched voice.
"Don't get too excited, we don't even know if the man at the holiday shop will have any holidays left. Let's go and see"
So off they went to the holiday shop and spoke to the man on the desk, he had Holidays to everywhere! Ahmed didn't want to go on a plane as he was scared of flying, he didn't want to go on a train as he thought they were too crowded and he most certainly didn't want to go in a car as it was too hot and stuffy! He wanted to go in a boat, he'd never been in one before and he loved the fish. He couldn't swim, but he was learning and he was sure that with a bit of hard work, he could learn in time to be able to swim the Dolphins.
"Hello Mr Holiday Man," said Ahmed, "Can we go on holiday please, in a boat, near Dolphins, ooo, ooo and hopefully next week so I can get back to watch the Special Olympics, ooo and and"
"Wow, slow down Ahmed and remember to say please," shouted his Mummy, punching him in the face, "Sorry, about that Mr Holiday Man, could we book a holiday for next week please, a cruise would be nice, one near Dolphins if you could."
"How many people are going?" asked the man.
"2 adults, one child, ooo and Ahmed's pet Beaver. I take it there will be a Beaver day centre"
"That's no problem, and I'll make sure there is a day care centre for your Beaver. In fact, here you go, just the holiday," replied the man in a polite manner, handing over the tickets with a big grin stretched across his face.
"Yay, thank you Mummy, where are we going? Will I see the Dolphins?"
"Yeah, in fact you may even see mutated Dolphins, because, we are going on a Cruise of the North Sea, aren't you excited?"
"Yes thank you Mummy I can't wait to tell Daddy and Dave!"
So a week past and the holiday began, the weather was lovely, the sun was just viewable past the clouds of toxic waste being thrown out by the big towers near the coast. The sea was a lovely shade of brown, like chocolate fudge cake. And Ahmed's mummy was right; there were mutated Dolphins, 28 feet long with massive fangs and even bigger horns.
