1 lg. watermelon
Hawaiian Fruit Salad (recipe follows) or assorted fresh fruit
Sprig of dried flowers for spout

Place watermelon on a flat surface, stem end toward you. The stem will be the nose next, with a wooden skewer, out line the opening for the shell and the pattern of the tail as demonstrated.

To relieve the pressure inside the watermelon, use a sharp knife to cut an x through the top of the watermelon.

To make the shell, cut along the outline for the opening. Cut away the unwanted shell in pieces. Scoop out the watermelon fruit, leaving the shell about 1 inch thick. Reserve the watermelon fruit to add to the other fruit in the whale.

To complete the whale, outline the eyes and mouth with a wooden skewer. Cut out the eyes completely. Cut the mouth only halfway through the shell so the juices from the fruit will not run out. At this point, the whale may be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight. Before serving the whale, make several holes in the top of the head with a small skewer. Push dried flowers into the holes to resemble spouting water. Fill the whale with Hawaiian Fruit Salad or assorted fresh fruit, such as melon balls or pieces, berries, grapes or other fruit.
