Juan Vega, the world famous clam diver, found an injured sea otter and nursed it back to health.
From the moment the grateful otter was able to walk, it never left Juan's side.
The otter even learned to dig for clams.
One day, a man went to Juan's house looking to hire him for a week.
His wife answered the door, " Sure, she said, it will cost $500."
The man exclaimed," That much?"
The wife replied, "But you're getting my husband and his otter, they bring up more clams
than anyone else around."
The man protested, "I just want Juan and will hire him for $350"
"Sorry", Juan's wife said, "You can't have Juan without the otter."
