'''Seal''' may refer to any of the following:
Sharpie was one of the happiest seals in the world as she played with her friends and family in the ocean. She did somersaults and flips and played in the waves. But one night after a game of tiggy Sharpie went to sleep. She dreamed of becoming a Thorn Princess and living in an underwater palace with all her friends. Later when Sharpie woke up she found herself away from her friends and family in the back of a speed ship cruising through the water. Sharpie was very frightened but was brave and resisted the urge to burst into tears of despair. After two frantic hours Sharpie found himself being carried into Sea World a water amusement Park. Sharpie was tossed into a tank full of other sea animals, she was all alone and scared and did not understand what was happening. Poor Sharpie. Sharpie swam around and soon met some of the other animals in the tank. There was a big fat whale named Will and several friendly sea horses. Sharpie started to feel a little better.

==Common uses==
After several days in the tank a sea instructor named Friendly Sam came and collected Sharpie. He gently caressed Sharpies soft blubber and rubbed her warm silky skin. Sharpie felt a strange sensation in her body and had never felt so delighted. Soon Sharpie was placed into a new tank where she met many other seals. After a long nap, friendly Sam picked up Sharpie and started to teach her wonderful tricks.

==Arts, entertainment and media==
After three days of intense and dedicated practice Sharpie could balance balls on his head and jump through hoops and even do acrobatic dives into the pool. All of the other seals were very, very, very, very jealous. Sharpie was so good that Friendly Sam scheduled for him to be in the upcoming sea show. Sharpie was very excited and started to feel that strange sensation again, like when Friendly Sam had touched her so delicately.

But then… Oh No! Sharpie dropped the red ball. Everyone in the crowd got very mad and Sharpie became redder than the ball. Everyone booed Sharpie and Sharpie got very sad. Friendly Sam became not so friendly and hit Sharpie in the face. This time Sharpie could not resist the urge to cry and let out a barrage of tears. Sharpie left the pool with her head hung in despair. Angry Sam game Sharpie a rude gesture. Sharpie went back to his tank.
