2. The whale opened wide and gathered a mouthful of seawater. But only a few bubbles tickled its tongue.

3. The whale closed its mouth and let the water slip away. Its baleen held nothing but a strand of seaweed.

4. Near the sunlit surface, Pip drifted among countless tiny plankton. Sunlight and nutrients from deeper water helped the little plankton grow.

5. Below the growing plankton, the hungry whale found a green-gold cloud. Pip and the other plankton filled the water like a floating feast.

6. The whale opened its giant mouth and gathered a huge mouthful of seawater. Pip and countless plankton came along, too.

7. Water streamed through the whale's baleen, but the tiny plankton stayed behind. The whale's empty belly finally had something to eat.

8. A whale survives by filtering huge mouthfuls of seawater and catching countless tiny plankton that grow from sunlight and nutrients.
