I went on a whale-watching tour when I was on holiday in Hervey Bay．It was amazing．The captain stopped our boat 100 metres from where two humpback whales（座頭鯨） were playing．
The crew on our whale-watching boat told us，the passengers，to make a lot of noise and wave our arms to attract the whales interest．It sure did．Two adult humpback whales came right up to our boat，swam under it and around it，and floated alongside，looking at us．The whales were so close we could have reached out to touch them．
We could see other boats and whales in the Bay．All whale-watching boats have to follow strict rules to protect the whales．The rules were established by the Environment Protection Agency．The rules state that if one boat is within 300 metres of a whale no other boat is allowed to approach the whale．Boats are not allowed to approach any whales head-on，get between any whales in a group，or separate a mother from her baby，and they have to be careful not to bother the whales in any other way．Helicopters aren't allowed for whale watching and other aircrafts have to stay 300 metres away．All these are in the interest of whales safety．
While on the tour I learned that humpbacks travel through Hervey Bay again on their way back south to Antarctica to feed on krill（磷蝦）．Obviously the Antarctic winter is too cold for whale babies because they don't have enough blubber（鯨脂） yet to survive there．The humpback migration from Antarctica up the Queensland coast is one of the longest migrations in the animal kingdom and the journey to Antarctica is dangerous and tiring for whale babies．The baby travels following its mother and drinks her rich milk to fatten up．Older whales don't usually eat anything as they migrate．They must be very hungry by the time they get back to Antarctica!
Our boat had a special microphone so we could hear the males singing．It was unbelievable．I love whales．

1．Life comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow，failure and success，hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go Hayward（不歸路） and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care.They teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is shortlived，but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in jye.ai.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one，failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.

Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
