   A large gull flew into the pool one day. Intelligent Kelly grabbed it and gave it to the trainers. The trainers gave Kelly a large fish. It was a reward for catching the gull. A new idea came to Kelly. Kelly uses one or two of the fish she gets very intelligently. She breaks the fish into pieces and spreads them on the pool surface instead of eating it. Pieces of fish attract more gulls. The gulls are immediately caught and given to the trainers for more fish-rewards! Kelly has now trained her family and friends in the pool.
