There is a centre in Saint Petersburg. It helps baby seals. The baby seals are hurt.

One seal goes to the centre. Somebody brings it. The seal is very young. It is covered in oil. Its condition is very bad. However, it does not die. It lives.

The seal likes people too much. It is not a good thing. The seal will go back into the wild.

Difficult words: hurt (have problems with the body), condition (situation of the body), wild (nature).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
