The Troubles Of A Child Named Dolphin - Part One Starting a new school isn't all that easy, especially when your name is Dolphin. Thats my name, Dolphin. The other kids pick on me for having such a weird name. I wasn't allowed to join in with any of the other kids games or sit with them at lunch. Even their parents told them not to play with me. I don't have any parents. Mine died when i was 3. They went on holiday for their honey moon, but they never came back. I live in a foster home with 4 other kids, but they all have normal names. There's Daniel who is 4, and Harry who is 6. They're brothers. Then we have Charlie who is going to be 14 next week, and his little sister Mia, who is 8 (the same age as me). They're all really nice and we all play together just fine, but i'm the only one that goes to St Anne's Primary School. I only started here last week. I moved because my old school was being closed down. They kept finding mice and droppings in the kitchen. So i moved here. It wasn't all that bad, the teachers were kind and the food was really nice! But the other children didn't want to play with me. They teased me because of my name. My name is Dolphin because when i was born, my mum was on holiday in Tenerife, and she could see beautiful dolphins jumping in and out of the warm, salty sea. But other people didn't think it was an appropriate name. They say i should have been called Casey or Mollie.
