The Jonah Boy

A tiny Island lives on the luck the sea cares to send it. One stormy night the youngest Islander falls asleep whilst counting the stars to be woken by the song of a Whale. Beached on the shore not far from him the Whale moves her fins and rolls her eye at him. In his mind she is there and therefore lives, only things and people who are gone are dead. Seventeen going on seven he speaks only the truth never having learnt how to tell lies.

How will he cope when the islanders chop her up to keep the bones away from officials from the mainland?
