GCSE Latin set text Pliny 'Dolphin' p4

ibat una (id quoque mirum) delphinus alius, tantum spectator et comes.

Another dolphin went together with them (this also a wonderful thing), only as a spectator and companion.

nihil enim simile aut faciebat aut patiebatur,

For he either did or allowed nothing similar,

sed alterum illum ducebat reducebat, ut puerum ceteri pueri.

but led the other out, led it back, as the other boys did for the boy.

incredibile, tam verum tamen quam priora,

It is unbelievable, but as true as the previous events,

delphinum gestatorem collusoremque puerorum

that the dolphin which was carrier and playmate of the boys,

in terram quoque extrahi solitum,

was also accustomed to drag itself up onto land,

harenisque siccatum, ubi incaluisset in mare revolvi.

and, after drying itself on the sand, when it had got hot, to roll back into the sea.
