It is a very unusual story about Ann Jones, from Washington D. C. and her friend Bella, a dolphin.

A dolphin can see everything in one's body with their special organs（器官）. When there is a sick person and a healthy one, a dolphin will swim with the sick one. It knows who is sick or healthy. Almost four years Bella swam with Ann all the time to let her know that she was sick and that she was protecting her.

Before Ann went to swim with the dolphin, she went to a doctor but was told that she was well. Ann kept telling the doctor she had a pain in her body. And the doctor kept saying she was OK. This went on year after year. That was why Ann turned to the dolphins. When she swam with Bella on the first trip, the dolphin tried to tell her that something was wrong. After the trip, she had a body scan（扫 描）. It showed that Ann had a cancerous turnor（恶性肿瘤）as big as an egg in her body. She might die in about six months but Bella helped save her life.

“I'm doing great!” said Ann. “I've got healthy again and I go to check my body every three months. And I think I will still be healthy in the future! Thanks, Bella!”

Not long ago, Ann made a trip to see her old friend and swam again with Bella, who helped save her life.
