Whales are probably the largest and strongest animals in the world. Perhaps that is why it is hard to think that a whale might need assistance from people.
Yet, in recent years, people have had to rescue several whales from some real trouble. One whale, for example, found itself in the Hudson River. Without help from the people of New York, the whale might have remained there forever. Another whale got stuck in the harbor at San Francisco, California. For several days, the world watched as people and boats helped the whale make its way back to the open sea.
