Mark rented an accommodation with his pension near the shore. He paid annual visits there to enjoy the vivid beauty in the depths of the pure sea. Once, with his underwater telescope and flashlight, Mark dived along the boundary between the steep reef and the area of seaweed conservation.

Suddenly, an awesome Antarctic seal with sharp teeth appeared opposite him. He fell in his body was scared to death, but soon, he was aware that he wasn't the target of an attack, with a neat wound in its lip caused by a shark. This gray seal was washed upside down by the tide's time after time.

But it tried to jog Mark as if to urge him to help it so Mark abandoned fleeing away. With its teamwork, Mark used a net to drag the seal to the shallow water. Without pausing, he helped it out after a simple operation and settled it in a narrow cave by the sea side.

Every time he brought it tasty fish, it would yell and suck his hands happily. Witnesses said their anecdotes reflected a magic dimension of the relationship between humans and animals.
