Let´s be Friends

Do you think a dog and a dolphin can be friends?

Don you think they can´t?

Have a look at this video.

It´s from the movie Zeus and Roxanne (1997)

Music: Song of the Seas (Vangelis)

Did you know the film?

***

There are two messages in this video:

"There´s nothing on this earth to be prized more than true friendship"

and

"If a dolphin and a dog can be friends, why can´t we?"

***

Do any of these messages say something to you?

Have you ever thought that you could never be a friend of someone?

Perhaps because you were too different?

What do you think after watching the video?
