Telling Melinda he could talk, was his choice. Melinda telling her father that he could talk, wasn't. Trapped in a cup, Teensie has to speak up for himself and demand respect from the people who care for him. A message from Teensie: Being in a tank has its advantages. Primarily, people forget that I'm there. I mean, let's be realistic for a moment, even when they do remember I'm around, they don't see me as a threat. I'm just a harmless goldfish. But that's not my full story. See, I'm more than just a goldfish. I can talk - and the people I talk to can understand me. I live with an amazing family, Melinda and her father, who are doing everything they can do to keep me safe and give me the life I dream about. Melinda has her books, and I have mine. This is my side of the story. In Tales From the Tank you'll hear about what actually goes on in the Longers' home, and out in the community! Come with me, and let me take you underwater to experience the adventure my way!
From Porsche Ray: This short story is Season 1: Episode 1 of Tales From the Tank - short stories that take place within the full-size novels. Season 1 matches up with Book 1 of the MELINDA series, "Melinda and Her Father Go Scuba Diving".
